Vanellus vanellus otherwise known as the Lapwing.
Spotted this one today looking for a meal of earthworms.
During periods of ice and snow in winter,when earthworms become inaccessible,large flocks move about.Most Lapwings will move southwards until they reach a frost-free area.In winter Lapwing flocks are often followed by Common gulls which are always on the lookout to steal an earthworm from an unwary Lapwing.
ISO400 Raw capture (Handheld)
Best viewed large....Thanks for lookin..............
