The Banded Lapwings on the Plain have hatched 2 chicks.  I saw them this afternoon and the landholder and I estimated them as about 3 or 4 days old.  We were astonished that the birds were able to nest successfully in a paddock occupied by some frisky Herefords calves and their Mums.

I couldn't get a photo of the chicks but have attached one of an adult.
