Hi Rod
Not sure if it is the same marking on its belly to what you have
seen, but it certainly seemed last week like the growth was red and
"active" giving off a discolouration from weeping where it puts its
foot up when resting. The growth seemed to be similar in size from
last week to photos taken a couple of weeks earlier but i didn't
notice the red colour in it from the early photos.
(Hope that all makes sense??)
It will be interesting to see what happens. Very sad though if it
does succumb to its illness.
Are there any vets out there willing to offer an opinion??
Cheers

Yet another update - sorry.
The Grey-headed Lapwing was present again today (Monday)
around the silos.
Mainly, though, I want to mention that the growth on the foot
seems to be getting worse. It wasn't limping today, but
hopping, and the growth on the foot looked about the diameter
of a 10c coin. I'm no bird doctor, but I would think the
prognosis wouldn't be great. Also it had a sizeable patch of
red dirt on its belly, suggesting its spending a lot of time
hunkering down, and not cleaning itself. I would suggest
anyone who hasn't seen it yet and wants to shouldn't wait too
long.
