Red-wattled lapwing

Quite common and a poseur

Hope you all had a great Christmas.

Am I kooking dapper?

They take off & create such a ruckus as soon as they see any two-legged animals in the vicinity, raising an alarm for the other birds!! Real spoil sports!! Not the greatest of shots but satisfied to get this as they are quite swift.

Another fairly common bird in Thailand is the Red-wattled Lapwing, behaving pretty much exactly as the lapwings do at home in Sweden.

Shot taken this morning at the drain water pool.

Red-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus), quite common in the Indian subcontinent, and also present in southeast Asia. As all photographers know, it's better to keep the same eye-level to the subject for more appealing results.

Found near fresh water bodies, operate in pairs and very loud and noisy.

Birds seem to be getting scarcer around here as the weather is becoming hotter and more humid. I guess the migratory birds have left for their homeland. However, here is a local plover I clicked at a nearby lake.

Red-wattled Lapwing, White-breasted Waterhen and a Black-winged Stilt share a space.

Sometimes they don't fly away, than I can come closer!
