A masked lapwing stands on a light path with its body facing left and its head turned toward the camera. The bird has a black crown, white neck and underparts, brown wings with yellow spurs, and a large yellow wattle across its face. Its yellow eye and red legs are visible. The background is green and out of focus.

@WhombeX@bne.social This one is almost tame! We feed them all meal worms of a morning, so as soon as the door opens, they fly over for their breakfast! They don't scream at us every time we move now!
