Feathered Findings November 6th

Some of my favourite finds from a potter about town. I've been feeling
pretty rough with some bug I've caught, I'm hopeful I'm over the worst
now so I'm catching up with some pictures.

The first picture, not the greatest of pictures as this was a long way
off but it tells a story. These Southern Lapwing birds are some of the
feistiest parents in the world, they will fight off anything they see as
a threat to their family. This Crested Caracara came under attack from
the two Lapwing, both the Lapwings had deployed their spurs, the
Caracara wisely moved on.

Ive never managed to see the female Upland Goose, usually we are here
later in the season, so it was nice to bump into this pair who were out
taking a stroll.
