The pictures is a lucky shot - one of about 10, where this was the only one with the wings outstretched - that's the wonder of digital:keep the best and dump the rest! It's remarkable how broad the outer section of the wing is, but I guess that's what gives these birds such wonderful aerobatic skills.<br /><br />C.Green: Thanks for the comment. Northumberland and Durham are excellent counties for the naturalist: uplands;rivers;varied coastline all easily reachable - although the climate can be a bit bracing!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609107148344256875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998479738444661160.post-52137474943759970462009-04-14T11:59:00.000+00:002009-04-14T11:59:00.000+00:00This blog is a great insight ino your local area -...This blog is a great insight ino your local area - nice photos.Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727246824452355673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998479738444661160.post-91337583650978916022009-04-14T08:37:00.000+00:002009-04-14T08:37:00.000+00:00Great photo of the Lapwing from underneath.Great photo of the Lapwing from underneath.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998479738444661160.post-32732309654577485302009-04-14T05:32:00.000+00:002009-04-14T05:32:00.000+00:00Some great pictures and observations.

Tricky to capture, the way they reel about in the sky.<br />Shame about the egg, but I suppose that's one of the hazards of nesting on the ground.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.com
