I was in absolute Lapwing heaven on Thursday! My friend and I went to Llanmadoc on the Gower Peninsula and had a lovely walk in and around the sandunes there, at Whiteford Sands Nature Reserve. Amazing place. I don't think either of us had seen a Lapwing before so it was such a thrill to finally spot some! Such incredible birds, stunningly beautiful! Here's a few pics I took of them.
Beautiful photos Ella as you say they are a lovely colourful bird and well done on getting them in flight.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Thanks. It was such a thrill for me to see some for the first time, and pretty close up too! Beautiful, elegant birds. :)
Some lovely shots Ella.
The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.

Llanmadoc! I used to holiday there with my parents when I was about 8yrs old, didn't notice the birds then but what a beautiful place, just right for a reserve. Lovely pics of a bird that are not so numerous these days.
Lot to learn
