In a hole

In a hole (Vanellus miles novaehollandiae)

We moved from the beach to Buckley's Hole, down some steps to a hide.

This Masked Lapwing was right outside the window, so a nice start. He was actually keeping an eye on his wife and child as she moved the little one away from the perceived danger we obviously were LOL

I'll be away tomorrow for... not too sure how long. Having an op for some pain relief (hopefully it works) need some relief after nearly two years of it.
