I remember being wakened one night by a lapwing.

I got so scared because I didn't know what it was. I thought it was an alien (mind I was only about 14).

Nightjars are good, but nowt compared to a peewit. They (peewits) were once common nesters on the upland pastures round home. Not so many these days alas. Carrion crows I've noticed target their nests.

That's the sound they usually make when dive bombing...probably disturbed by a fox or hedgehog.

Are you really sure they are Crows and not Jackdaws as those horrible birds are really breeding out of control these days and they do cause a lot of grief with smaller birds
