Hi John and All
On Kangaroo Island, SA, where masked Lapwing is very common, it includes
Kingscote township lawns etc within its habitat. More than once a pair of
birds have nested on the flat roof of the Kingscote gift shop in the main
street of Kingscote, successfully producing young. In my ranger days I can
remember having to rescue small chicks from the roof and relocate them to
the esplanade foreshore lawns nearby (not much to eat up there!)-much to the
concern of the noisy parents who berated me with much calling and swooping.
In the end they settled down and the family of lapwings were again most
happy together on the lawns and esplanade beach.
Cheers
Chris Baxter

Subject: Masked Lapwings on a roof
At the local primary school here in Canberra I have noticed that a apir of
Masked Lapwings frequenly the flat roof of the main, one-story building. I
guess they avoid the kids that way.
Does anyone have any infroamtion about Masked Lapwings actually nesting on
flat roofs?
