| Re: lapwings at Pegwell Bay
At the London Wetland Centre there is usually a sizeable flock of Lapwing + they can be quite skittish. As they go up, usually with the Starlings, I always scan for raptors. Often none will be seen immediately, yet maybe 20 minutes later while counting wildfowl, I'll suddenly spot a Sparrowhawk sitting on the grass- those Lapwing knew it was present all the time, understandably making them nervous. |
