The blacksmith lapwing or blacksmith plover (Vanellus armatus). The vernacular name derives from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
It is distributed throughout southern and eastern Africa - where it occurs in the Savannah grasslands, wetlands, riverine forests and moist grasslands.
It eats aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates, doing most of its foraging early and late in the day, standing still while intently scanning for prey; once spotted it dashes forward to pluck the animal from the surface of the ground or water. It also searches for insect larvae in dung, sometimes trembling its foot in shallow water to attract prey to the surface.
Photographed early in the morning at the Hyena Dam in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.
These birds are extremely common in Southern Africa. You will find them at almost every water body, regardless of how small it is.
During the breeding season, they are aggressively protective of their nest and chicks. When threatened, they would attack even much larger animals.

I tried to stay awake until dark, but then I fell asleep. In a dream I heard hammering from this old blacksmith's shop 😊

Blacksmith demonstration at 'Sainte-Marie among the Hurons' This Midland Ontario reconstructed site demonstrates early Canadian pioneer life. Its roots go back to 1639 when French Jesuits along with lay workers, began construction of a fenced community that included barracks, a church, workshops, residences, and a sheltered area for Native visitors.
An environmental portrait of a blacksmith at work in the Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra. Single shot with the 5D MK IV and 16-35mm. Superb the detail you can get from a RAW file with this camera. WIde open with the 16-35mm due to the lowlight. Even at ISO 1600, still only getting 1/60 sec. Good noise control at 1600 with the 5D mk iv too.
Very different to my normal subjects. I spent the day at the Industrial Museum in Bradford which was fascinating. I ended up spending 3 hrs when i had initially planned for 1 hr!
They have a resident blacksmith and since i was early arriving at the building there was noone else there but me so I enjoyed taking photos of him at work and also listening to the knowledge he had and what came across was his enthusiasm.
He made me a nail out of metal which was brilliant. Actually, he made me one last year (2 days before my heart attack ironically enough, maybe the nail was symbolic LOL )
But, I really enjoyed the couple of hours at the museum and if you come to Bradford definitely pay it a visit.

This is another workshop of the boat tour around Inle Lake.
Blacksmith has been a thriving occupation among Intha people, which is because ethnic Burmese regards blacksmith as a menial occupation and are reluctant to engage in. The prejudice probably derives from a Hindu influence on Buddhism since blacksmith is a lower caste occupation in India.
This is an 84 year old man who has been doing this for many years. When I visited this part of Yosemite, it made me feel like I was being teleported back into the early 1900s. The peaceful feeling of not being rushed by bosses or technologies. Times were simple back then, and it was a real treat that I was able to live this, even for a few hours.
Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend my flickr friends!
