Original - Vanellus miles novaehollandiae.
Reason
Commonly known as a "Plover". Many people don't realise that this bird belongs to a genus of waders. The water and clear look at the long legs is important imo.

  • Comment is there no easy and definitive way of determining the gender of this bird? Having it as 'possibly female' isn't too helpful-it has to be one or the other :) Lemon martini (talk) 12:13, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Whoops. The possibly female was intended for the lizard floating about. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
