Dear Bill, et al, Phillip Island has a very high density of Masked Lapwings, but I've noticed they prefer cleared, vacant land for feeding, nesting etc. My garden has a relatively small area of lawn and buildings and or trees & bushes around. I've never had any Lapwings nesting on my property - they occasionally come up the drive and venture into the back yard. I presume they need more open space than my property can offer them, although I wouldn't mind them taking up residence. Almost all the neighbouring houses with little or no garden are used by the resident lapwings, especially if they are not occupied by humans all the time.
