Masked Lapwing

 * Reason:Commonly known as a "Plover". Many people don't realise that this bird belongs to a genus of waders. The water and clear look at the long legs is important imo.
 * Articles this image appears in:Vanellus miles, Vanellus, Charadriidae

 * Comment is there no easy and definitive way of determining the gender of this bird? Having it as 'possibly female' isn't too helpful-it has to be one or the other :) Lemon martini (talk) 12:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoops. The possibly female was intended for the lizard floating about. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
