These Cost shots were taken about a month apart. Likely siblings and a slight chance they are the same bird.

Wow, looks like a cross between a plover (masked lapwing) and a guinea fowl!

they are indeed quite unusual. Rather large. And pretty intimidating looking. Here is side view

Ah, now I can see how long its beak is. Not much like a plover from this angle.


Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

No it looks more like a traditional heron shape with some really unusual feathering.....cool birds.

Thank you Mike for your kind words & commendation.

Very beautiful photo. Love the pose, colours and overall composition.

Richard, as always, I surely do enjoy you thoughtful comments. It's always good to hear from you.
