They put on a great show.

I don't believe I have ever seen an image of the Lapwings under body. Excellent Graham

What a sight to see :D I used to have a front-row seat for watching lapwing display flights - a 10th story window at the student dorms with lapwings in the field right outside. Long time ago now |:(|
