LAPWING // VANELLUS VANELLUS (29cm)

DISTINCTIVE wader, love its spiky crest, and in some angles as above it has a green and purple sheen. The lapwing is a bird of open habitats, and during the breeding season, it is found on undisturbed grazed grassland, moors, and arable farmland. Sadly this bird is in serious decline, due to changing farming practices. Seen on a misty early morning at the Restharrow Scrap at Sandwich Bay Kent.
