(delhibirdpix) Yellow-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus malabaricus) - Adult and Immature

Observed the adults raise the chick until it was big enough to fly, which I see it do often now :-) Raised amidst debris and mud in a site being taken up by mindless construction.

In Manipal, Karnataka, India in early September 2010.
