Blacksmith Lapwing

Walking the dogs on the golf course yesterday I photographed a pair of Blacksmith Lapwing.
The Blacksmith Lapwing gets its name from its call: a metallic klink klink klink; like the  blacksmith's hammer on an anvil
The Blacksmith Lapwing's habitat is near inland water systems, sports fields and golf courses

The Blacksmith Lapwing has distinctive black, white and grey plumage

I'm linking to Wild Bird Wednesday here

Happy Wednesday to you all!

  7. Hello Jo. Yes I remember that one from Kenya. A strange sort of name until it is explained why.
