Yellow-wattled Lapwing (Juvenile)

This juvenile bird is shaking off excess water as seen in the photo. Also this and other juveniles were in hiding while the adults were mobbing a large Tawny eagle a few moments before I photographed this shot. Initially we thought it was hiding from us. Adults were loud enough to assure us of them being in hot pursuit of the large eagle in the sky, while simultaneously warning the chicks. After the danger passed this chick came quite close and gave us good oppurtunity to photograph while we were sleeping and waiting for these.
Common names: Yellow-wattled Lapwing, Yellow-wattled Plover
