Male lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) - A leather jacket for supper !!

Beautiful waders these!! This male was amazingly successful at catching leather jackets like this one caught as the sun began to sink over the mountain tops at dusk

The colours like a magpie are never just plain black and white. First thought and what looks like a flash of khaki on close inspection is a mass off stunning hues of green more beautiful than any jewellery or anything man could make !!
