Odd place for lapwings

[Maryanne Gates <>]

We got a report of them nesting on the Yass Police Station roof just a couple of weeks ago.  And previously I have dealt with them nesting on a roof in an industrial area in Queanbeyan and the lawn bowls club.

A few years ago a pair of Masked Lapwings nested on top of the Cook shops.

My first floor workplace desk over the past month or more overlooks the roof
of the post office depot in Tuggeranong. It is olive green (i.e. grass
colour). The roof is regularly occupied by a pair of Masked Lapwings. I
don't see them on the other nearby rooves. I don't know what food they find
there but I think they sometimes do. I expect there is a precedent for this
but it is still odd.
