Hello
Following my previous thread about an encounter between a Lapwing and Stoat Encounter between Lapwing and Stoat
I thought I'd go and check on the progress of the chicks. Several chicks seen around the sight and plenty of parents - no stoat this time!  
And some flight shots on my way to the viewing area   
Cheers

In the last couple of weeks I have watched them chase off Redshank, Ring Plover, Woodpigeon, Pheasant as well as Stoat, Carviods and people!
Some you can understand such as corviods, stoats and people. Others such as redshanks and plovers may be because of food etc. Woodpigeons can have a "bird of prey look" to them.
If anyone as any more info or ideas on this I would love to hear. I am becoming addictided to the goings on now with the Lapwings.
Cheers
