White-crowned Lapwing

To me one of the most beautiful of the Lapwings. This one was one of many that was foraging for insects at the Lower Sabie Waterhole. The crocodiles had no interest in them as they were baking in the sun and beside, they would merely be a little snack to these large giants in the picture below

Useful and handy this yellow bib tied under his chin - it protects his "clothes" while he is eating and is also very decorative:)) Stunning quality of the image.
Have a lovely evening, my friend. Viola

A wonderful waterbird! So beautiful are its colours - an eyecatcher is the yellow arround its head! The DoF is so impressing - well done!!!

Thank you - also a wonderful week to you!!!

at first i wondered about his striking yellow "bib", but then i read viola's comment, and her explanation sounds perfectly plausible to me: a spill protection both effective and decorative at the same time – yes, that's it! i have nothing to add, except maybe that all messy eaters should be born with one! ; )))))) greetings, sabine.
