Pictured is a blacksmith lapwing standing in elephant dung on a beach near the edge of the Chobe River in Chobe National Park in Botswana, Africa. The binomial name is Vanelius armatus. It is also called the blacksmith plover and the name derives from the repeated tink, tink, tink alarm call which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil. They are boldly patterned in black, grey and white.
