They make a lovely noise as they go about their business. To me, it sounds like someone tuning in an old manual radio (for those of you that can remember them). Pitches going up and down, and never quite landing a station.
Their colours are quite special too. A lovely iridescent green and a pretty stylish hair do too. I hope they manage to get their young off safe and sound again this year. Sadly, it's quite a challenge for them.
Beautiful bird..Love it's head dress !! Enjoy your day..

ReplyDeleteWOW! I really like the look of this bird.
What a beautiful and striking-looking bird. Great colors and love the head feathers!
ReplyDeleteThe lapwings are cool birds. I would love to see one myself some day. Awesome shots.
ReplyDeleteThe Lapwings at Frodsham Marsh are being targeted by almost all the predators at the moment. They are doing a great job of protecting their nests at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThese are such attractive birds with wonderful colouring
ReplyDeletetheir plumage is so lovely!

Great photos and beautiful coloring on those birds. I hope they are not as much of a nuisance as our Masked Lapwings are!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. I always think they sound like an old Nintendo console when they're displaying.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bird! I like its hair-whip too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bird.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely bird.
ReplyDeletePretty little bird and wonderful pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful bird! The trials birds go through, especially those who nest on the ground...ot's a wonder any of them make it! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI have seen many of them lately, as I walked across the Yorkshire Moors, but didn't manage to get such fantastic photos as yours.
ReplyDeleteI loVe the way those birds look ... Nothin like that here. But I always wonder about birds who nest on the ground. I wonder why! We have killdeer and some others that do that and it seems so funny when they can fly!
ReplyDeleteThese are great birds - learned to call them Peewits as a kid and had to unlearn that name later! Hope they manage to fledge some young as they are a species under a bit of pressure.
