Odd place for lapwings

[Martin Butterfield <>]

Probably the pair that nested in the roof gardens on the Cameron Offices until they were covered in the late 1980s

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.
