Venus Pool - Lapwings united

I mentioned the Lapwings were up to their aerial tricks lately and with a few minutes to spare and good light - tried to keep up with them!

One is not too difficult....






Two are a different manner as they weave about, constantly changing direction!








Things got a little close for comfort - a definite near miss in aviation terms?






No, this isn't a long winged two-billed Lapwing but it might be those two stuck together?(and not by me I hasten to add!)






The male Gadwall cruising along nearby....






A longer than average bill helps to reach the depths of a Teasel head the other Goldfinches couldn't reach?






Off to Devon now for the South West alpine show. If the weather holds, I hope to stay down for the Sunday and check out the Cirl Buntings.....
