Crowned Lapwing
This Crowned Lapwing, aka Crowned Plover, was flying around a very small pond we stopped briefly at during the Kenya portion of my safari with Simon this past spring. It was interacting with some wading plovers and their almost adult chicks which caused it to periodically take to the air. It gave me this nice pose as it flew toward me. (Vanellus coronatus) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/4, 1/6400 second, ISO 640)
