You have come back with a lot of great images. What a great time and place to visit. I like the interaction of the animals here.

The unnamed bird catches my attention. Were you able to zero in on him too? :smile:

Lon, yes, that's a Blacksmith Lapwing. They are quite common, but very beautiful. I have several images of them. I'll post one in the Avian Gallery tomorrow - just for you! :jump:
