The masked lapwing, a native of Australia, is very similar to the wattled lapwing, which I’ve seen several times in Africa. This guy was spotted in Lauceston, Tasmania at a place called Cataract Gorge. Cataract Gorge is a popular recreation area for locals and these birds are quite common at picnic sites and other open grassy areas.
