For Lapwing Thursday

You are going to have to trust me on this one. (sounds of coughing fit off stage)

Here you see my neighbour Brian. He has pointed out to me that there are at least ten lapwings in this field and just beyond the large lake of flood water.

Now there is no way that my camera is capable of getting anywhere near a shot like that. This is the second occasion this year that the birds have been seen but they are in greater numbers today.

It is a pleasure to welcome their appearance. The will soon be doing loops and bunts over this field in the spring.

So the photograph is nothing at all to do with the delightfully trained spaniel dogs in the foreground.
