Lapo

A few shots of an obliging Lapwing at Broom GP today.  Great birds with one of the best calls around!  They even have eyes in the back of their head...

Digiscoped with a Nikon V1, Swarovski ATS 80 HD, and 20x eyepiece.

Derek's

Another fog-out this morning so birding postponed until lunchtime. Predictably, Broom was uninspiring with just ten Common Terns to hold our interest.

This evening I dropped in to the fantastically named Derek White's Eggs GP next to the A1. Two LRP's knocking around, along with an Oyc, two Common Terns, three Teal, and a sitting Lapwing. The Meadow Pipits were still showing well, with maybe two pairs here now.

I spent the evening walking around the local fields. I found just four Golden Plover. I was hoping for a few more.
