They are very poor landers...they always end up with their beaks in the turf, just after this...

Great action photo! All too many bird pix are static and not nearly as interesting.

William, dung beetles takes the "crash landing" idea a bit further- they fly at full tilt to a dung heap and when in close proximity just fold their wings and fall. Rather funny to watch.
