LAPWING // VANELLUS VANELLUS (29cm)
DISTINCTIVE wader with four five-day-old chicks, they feed for themselves from birth, the last one is about to get under its mother to get out of the rather cold wind, blowing across the open marshes at Elmley. The problem they have is protecting the young as they make off in all directions, making an easy meal for gulls, but the lapwing parents swoop at any approaching bird and are very brave.
===============================================
THANK YOU for your visit, friendship, and any comments, please do not fave and run. Stay safe and well, God bless you.......................... Tomx.
