EDITORS COMMENTS
Strike while the iron is hot! The Blacksmith Lapwing shows off its metalworking skills in this photo print. With its sleek black and white plumage, this avian artisan is a true master of style and craftsmanship. From Kenya to southern Africa, it's not just the blacksmiths who are impressed by its talents! In the heart of Botswana's Okavango Delta, where nature thrives in all its glory, this lapwing takes center stage. Its long legs and slender beak make it perfectly suited for wading through marshes and wetlands, searching for insects to feast upon. But don't let its delicate appearance fool you – when threatened or defending its territory, this feisty bird will fearlessly take on any challenger. With an eye-catching crest atop its head resembling a blacksmith's apron, it's no wonder why this lapwing earned such a unique name. Its presence adds a touch of elegance to the African landscape as it gracefully struts along riverbanks or perches on tree branches. Captured by FLPA photographer David Hosking, this stunning image invites us into the vibrant world of wildlife photography. So hang up your hammer and put down your tools – immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with this mesmerizing snapshot that celebrates both artistry and nature’s wonders.
