Spurwinged Plover: aka Masked Lapwing or Masked Plover. Not particularly happy with me in the back yard approaching their nest. Note the nasty looking spurs on the wings. Kids are told and will tell you that they are venomous, and you’ll die a tragic horrible death should the spur even scratch you. You must fear the spur as least as much as you fear the Australian Drop Bear. (via Photos from neoporcupine)
