Masked Lapwings are also known as Spurred Plovers. The wing spurs can be easily seen here, which is unusual because they normally have them retracted which makes them barely visible. They are very protective of their chicks & eggs & will use these spurs if necessary.

Downloading is recommended (try DDLs, too).

P1000.
