Field Notes - The three resident masked lapwings just stolled past my house. They can be seen daily in our estate. We like to call them the three stooges.
Fantastic encounter. First I accidently scared it off the roadsign returning to my car. Then it perched and posed beautifully. I was starting to feel bad about the light in its eyes when it suddenly shifted, pupils dilated and it took off - diving and grabbing something off the road just next to my car. I followed my ears to the new perch, as it was slapping this Pobblebonk hard against the tree.
