LOL Pepe... I've not heard the lapwings being call 'green' for a long, long time. Had me worried for a bit, thought there was something else in there that I couldn't see!!:-O

What fun that must have been watching this action going on... those lapwings can be pretty determined, can't they.

A super SF picture, thanks lad.

I doubt they were worried about him poaching their fish or frogs. More likely worried about him poaching chicks. Always entertaining to watch the small gang up on the giants ;)
