Calling Blacksmith Lapwing - The Winged Warriors of Africa's Wild Delta!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the majestic beauty and unique features of the Calling Blacksmith Lapwing or Blacksmith Plover. With its striking plumage and eye-catching wing spurs, this avian marvel is a true standout in the animal kingdom. Hailing from Kenya through central Tanzania to southern and southwestern Africa, these lapwings are no ordinary birds. Their distinctive call echoes across the vast landscapes of Botswana's Okavango Delta, making them an integral part of Africa's vibrant wildlife symphony. As if straight out of a blacksmith's forge, their wings bear intricate patterns that resemble finely crafted metalwork. These natural "armatus" extensions add an extra touch of flair to their already impressive appearance. FLPA photographer David Hosking has masterfully captured this moment in time when nature meets artistry. The image transports us to the heart of Africa's untamed wilderness, where every creature plays its role with grace and charm. So let your imagination take flight as you gaze upon this remarkable photograph! Marvel at the skillful craftsmanship displayed by Mother Nature herself as she presents her very own blacksmiths - adorned with wing spurs that would make any artisan envious!
