I never see Lapwing at such mobbing count...!!
Great feat to see such royal bird..!!
I did. Must have snapped about 30 pics of them. Not that many in focus though. Very glad the rain that was threatening didn't turn up :)
Haha I bet!! I'd have taken dozens of photos too. They look great against that dramatic sky!
Thanks LauraMaria. I've never seen anything like it. It was pretty awesome. Tried to take count but lost my way after 40. :D
Cool, I've never seen a flock of lapwings either! What amazing photos, must have been quite a sight!
