Masked Lapwing

There's been a pair of birds hanging out on our Werribee campus. I've procrastinated its sighting for a long while up till now, so my memory of it is blur. Tentatively, it's a Masked Lapwing race novaehollandiae, because I vaguely recall black sideburns compared to its counterpart race miles. I will attempt photography and a clearer description of it.

You may call me fickle, but I'm starting to sway towards Purple Swamphen now. When the sun shone the purplish-ness sparkled off those hens and caught my attention. Yes, you may call me fickle.
