These are Masked Lapwings and if you look closely you will see the parent bird with 'extra legs'
as this is how the chicks are protected. Sometimes the adult bird 'appears' to have up to 8-10 legs
They lay their eggs in a depression on the ground and when the chicks hatch they can fend for themselves
These Masked Lapwings are some of the most protective parent birds I have ever seen
It is a great pleasure to have several nesting pairs on our property
