Hey all,

Just thought I'd share this funny experience with you.

I have been birding recently around the Thai / Laos border (specifically around 
the lake near Chiang Saen) and came across a group of 3 very boisterous 
Grey-headed Lapwings (no, there were no Cockatiels or Galahs!). Imagine the 
shock I got when they went to run away and I noticed one of them had a 
reasonably bad limp! I instantly studied it's foot and no, there was no 
golf-ball attached to it. 

But it did get me thinking....?

Surely not!?

Incidentally, I have also added more bird images from South America, as well as 
some from Morocco (including one of the Crimson-winged Finch and some nice ones 
of Cream-coloured Coursers - possibly the favourite bird of my journey). They 
are under various Sub-albums at:

If anyone wants to be forwarded a quasi trip-report from any of these places, 
just let me know.

Regards,

Mick Roderick
