The Masked lapwing is not common around where I live in Perth, although I have seen them on the golf course at Rottnest Island some years ago.
At Yanchep National Park in May this year there were a couple wandering around on the lawns beside the lake. They seem partial to open lawn areas and are quite used to being photographed!
The masked lapwing is sometimes referred to as the spur winged plover because of the yellow spur on its "elbow".
