What am I?
The Lapwing is a very distinctive crested bird from the plover family. They are often seen feeding on fields and in mixed flocks with golden plovers and black headed gulls. West European lowland birds are largely residential and are joined in autumn and spring by flocks of birds migrating to and from North Africa and India and parts of China. Lapwing feed mostly on insects and small invertebrates in a typical plover run and peck style. Photo Credit: John Parish.
