This Spot Breasted Lapwing found itself a small snack on the Sanetti Plateau, in the Bale Mountains National Park Ethiopia.

Ken, a nice image and the "breakfast" really adds makes it more interesting. I may have gone to a tighter crop and a bit warmer colors.

Nice pose and the bird and prey are very shapr, Ken. Wish you'd been able to get a bit more separation from the bg, particularly of the beak and prey.

Excellent shot of a nice species. Love the overall setting as well. Cheers, Hans

Nicely captured Ken. I like that the lapwing has food. For me I wonder if a lower angle would have done a better job of separating the bird from the background.

It was very dull on the Sanetti Plateau, the vehicle we had a basic Land Cruiser made getting a better angle an impossibilty, especially with two trying to use it,
