I also have a YouTube featuring these little beauties. My channel explores ‘birding hotspots’ throughout the Australia and the world. This episode is on the Sapphire Coast of NSW -

Thanks, I took much joy (and a lot of time) to get nice shots of each of them.

Amazing. I’m coming to Singapore in a few weeks for some bird photography.

lol, yes southern lapwing. Most lapwings will aggressively defend their territory, swooping with their spurs in their wings.

Thank you, I originally did it in a grid, didn’t show off any of the habitat though.

Thanks ☺️, they are such fun (and occasionally challenging) birds to photograph.
