  Thanks, Ferdy. They nest in the area. When they are disturbed they fly around in circles and cry. So we (me and my fellows) made a few shots and left the area quickly. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

The Spur-winged lapwing

The spur-winged lapwing or spur-winged plover is a lapwing species, one of a group of largish waders in the family Charadriidae. It is one of several species of wader supposed to be the "trochilus" bird said by Herodotus to have been involved in an unattested cleaning symbiosis with the Nile crocodile.
