Vanellus vanellus
Also called the peewit for the call it makes. Distinctive shore bird, has a crest and very unique shape in flight.

Saw this guy flitting around and took some snaps. Didn't realise I got home and looked at them on my computer that it was a lapwing! Unfortunately we couldn't get so close to the water's edge so they're a bit distant.

Great, that's what makes this website so cool! Getting to see people's local wildlife from around the world, and seeing how far some of the species that are local to you have spread!
Cool. We're getting quite the collection of different lapwing shots from all over the world.
