LAPWING // VANELLUS VANELLUS (28-30cm)
DISTINCTIVE wader, looks black and white at a distance, but in certain angles, you can see a green an purple sheen, Found at Elmley Marshes, a working farm, where they put nature first, often amoung grazing cattle, where they feed, breed and nest on the ground. Numbers have declined alarmingly as a result in farming pratices . Always a joy to see, and few sights and sounds more evocative of the countryside than a lapwing performing a noisy display flight over its territory in the spring.
===========================================
THANK YOU, for your visit and kind comments, hpoe you are enjoying the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend, despite it turning quite cold in the U.K again. Stay well and safe, God Bless......
