Blacksmith Lapwing

In South Africa we generally refer to this gutsy bird as a "Kiewiet".

I see these birds everyday when walking my dog. This picture was taken in the canal where they and other bird species search for food

Kiewiets dive bomb anyone who come close to their nests and make a ridiculously loud sound for such a small bird

I will try and photograph and feature a different bird each morning that I have seen on my walk

Thanks for reading and the continued support
