Blacksmith Lapwing

The Blacksmith Lapwing or Blacksmith Plover (Vanellus armatus) is named for its repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call - which sounds similar to a blacksmith's hammer striking metal.

 

It is distributed throughout southern and eastern Africa - where it occurs in the Savanna grasslands, wetlands, riverine forests and moist grasslands.
