[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday, i had posted Lapwing in flight. The sam Bird was not allowing this yellow wattled Lapwing - Its cousin- anywhere near to its young ones. So, it use to chase the YWL away. I was amazed where could be this little one hiding. Later we found it under a plant and in the grass hiding. After the YWL moved away, the young one came out and joined the parents.

nice story qnd pics, TFS Ori

Hi Satish,
Excellent presentation of lapwing behaviour. They scare other birds away by the alarming call and frantic flights. May a times I have lost opportunity to shoot other birds due to lapwings :(
