Hi Veneta, Nice spotting! I'm starting a birds of New Zealand mission to document biodiversity within New Zealand. (http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1252...) It would be wonderful if you would add your bird spottings to this mission and keep up the great posts. Cheers!
That would be the one :) I was just trying to see what come up with information for New Zealand. We call them Masked Lapwings, Plovers or 'argh run there's a crazy bird attacking me'. I have had a few run ins with these birds during breeding season.
May be it is closer to a masked plover: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masked_Lapw...
Sorry the quality of the picture is so low, it was pretty far.
