    I have been trying to get a photo of these two for some time but they are always so nervous. Today I got lucky! Pleased with the result so self-promoted I'm afraid!! Posted 11 years ago

      It would get promoted anyway, it's superb. Very clear, sharp, colorful, a joy to watch. Posted 11 years ago

The Blacksmith Lapwing

The Blacksmith Lapwing or Blacksmith Plover occurs commonly from Kenya through central Tanzania to southern and southwestern Africa. The vernacular name derives from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
