The Masked Lapwing father tolerates me very well while I try to photograph his young. The parents, however, have only managed to raise three of the four young this far. I visited the wildlife carer yesterday with an road injured young Australian Wood Duck. He had a baby lapwing that had been hit by a car but it was younger than mine.
Here, the male watches from the shadows.
Meanwhile, his young stride and poke around eating.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
