    This is a masked Lapwing and it chick, this one and it's mate have 3 chicks.
    Locally they are known as Spur-wing Plovers and by other not so polite names as they are very protective of their chicks and very aggressive with constant swooping so as to drive people and animals away from the area they are in.

    The image was taken with my new toy, a Canon G15 The range of the camera's zoom is limited so I have had to zoom in and crop the image in Photoshop.
