My theme for October is the birds I have photographed while out and about.
It was the Masked Lapwing that alerted to me to the presence of the large lace monitor - while the monitor looks imposing and like it is interested in the bird it actually walked past and away and the Lapwings weren't fussed after the initial panic - either they didn't have a nest yet or the monitor was not going near it. If you look closely you can see the lapwings wing spur.
@onewing yes that crossed my mind also.....he came up out of the mangroves and they made a huge fuss that made me turn around....then he just walked past me and them and they didn't fuss at all....they do lay their eggs in the dumbest of places Hahahaha
