Talk:Masked lapwing

Photo of Spur?

I was looking for a photo of their large wing spurs - I'm not sure what images are eligible else I'd add one myself.

Question

Where can I find comprehensive information about Vanellus miles? I can only find scattered information about these particular birds. I have a particular interest in them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.133.220.106 (talk) 07:10, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles, ssp. novaehollandiae shown), also known as the Spur-winged Plover, is a common and conspicuous bird native to northern and eastern Australia, as well as New Zealand. They are most common around the edges of wetlands and in other moist, open environments, but are adaptable and can often be found in surprisingly arid areas.Photo: JJ Harrison
