A lapwing is flying, facing left, in the middle of the image against a background of green and brown grass. It has dark coloured wings, with white on the underside of the wings and dark coloured wing tips, and a white tummy and face. There is a dark stripe around its neck and under its eye to match its black beak, and a dark coloured crest on its head.
A lapwing stands in the middle of the image surrounded by green grass, with dark coloured back and wings and a white tummy and face. There is a dark stripe under its eye to match its black beak, and a dark coloured crest on its head. It's a sunny day, brown moorland grasses are in the background.
1/3 At this time of year you might hear the electric "pee-wit!" call of the lapwing, or spot their acrobatic display flights as they prepare to nest and raise their chicks.
