lapwing.

Happy, because it has succeeded in leading me away from its chicks.

Broken wing display in attempt to lure me away from its chicks.

Adult bird in grass.

Going away to my Caravan over in Shropshire for a few days to visit Upton Warren see what birds they have over there.

Really surprised this picture came out at all ,taken on a dark wet day in Teesdale i was looking for Snipe without any luck so i thought just to get something on the card i would have a go at this one i know there are some faults but really pleased with the colours just shows what the camera can...

Love the way these can part their plume and then put it all back as one, it adds a whole new expresion to their look!!!

Looks like they have just had a good old dose of medicine lol

Had a little trip up on the moors very cold and wet but did manage to get a picture or two.

I don't know what this Lapwing had been doing but it certainly looked like it had had a night on the tiles! lol
