[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the southern Lapwing, a bird of 31 cm in length. It is well know for its defensive posture while defending its territory. Note the sharp spurs that protrude from the wings, these are used as the bird dives on intruders to its nesting grounds. I have heard of people being badly cut by these spurs.

Hola Dean:
Excelente captura de este tero defendiendo su territorio. Tal vez su nido o sus pichones estaban cerca. Se ven bien las agudas płas rojas en sus alas, con las cuales golpea a quien ose acercarse.
Gran nitidez y lindos colores. Felicitaciones y Feliz 2007
