Australian Wildlife Series - Masked Lapwing birds walking on the grass - Vanellus miles

A pair of masked lapwings white with brown bird with a bright yellow face and beak, long leg and a black capped head strolls on the grass in search of bugs in a Victoria Point, Queensland Australia park. The masked lapwing (Vanellus miles) is a large, common and conspicuous bird native to Australia (particularly the northern and eastern parts of the continent), New Zealand and New Guinea. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food such as insects and worms, and has several distinctive calls.
