The Masked Lapwings babies hatched and the parents brought them down yesterday. They have four. They are on my lawn at the moment and I cannot go into the garden. The young have to get used to me. I am going to worry about them crossing the road. Sometimes they don't make it. But the adults are very good parents.
One got stuck up against my elevated bed and the parents couldn't get it out. I had to catch it when they were not sighted and put above the obstruction or there would have been hell to play.
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.
