A lovely bird, as pretty in flight, as well on the ground.
The small crest on the head tells you that we're are dealing with a female.
There are many species of lapwings around the world, and their behaviour on the ground is similar, and their aerobatic capabilities are awesome.

I suppose this isn't really a funny shot, but am poking fun at myself for my lack of observation.
I was trying to take pictures of the Lapwings on the bog bean. They didn't turn out too well really, so after I'd downloaded them, started to delete them. When suddenly...
Very spirited display given by these two made even more impressive when the wind speed was taken into account! I would imagine some birds are killed during this high speed aerobatics routine?
