Lapwings

           

Plenty of Lapwings about on the river so took the opportunity and got a few shots of them, they are very pretty birds.

RE: Lapwings

We must have the same ideas! I managed a few shots on the Estuary this afternoon (not uploaded yet!) Lovely evening winter sun on them and lots of Golden Plover too.

RE: Lapwings

Can't wait for them to come back up by me. There are two small breeding colonies around my village. One is on a giant colliery tip, they don't get much luck here, Motor bikes crush their nests, Cats and Magpie (large roost nearby) rob their chicks. While the other on nearby Farmland is doing well.


Regards Chris.

RE: Lapwings

I really like the look of lapwings, always have done. Those are great pictures too. I haven't seen any for a while around here though.

RE: Lapwings

I feel the same Squirreler, they are really quite pretty birds with great markings, they were again down at the rivers edge yesterday morning, although it was very foggy so photographing them was'nt too easy.Icon_rolleyes

RE: Lapwings

I see Lapwings all the time at the River Crouch, but I have only been noticing them for about a year now. I used to just be able to hear them, but now I see them all the time.
