Lapwing

There was a member who loves small birds in photos, but he has gone now ;)

It is too small in the frame I'm afraid, but you've done well to catch it in fight as they are tricky.

Thanks, the shot was taken on full zoom using my sigma 55-200 and cropped heavily and thats the best i could do without it getting pixelated

Regardless of the tech merits of the photo, it really does show off the size and beauty of this wonderful species.
Also known as peewits in Surrey and as plovers in other parts (pass the anorak !).
They are very difficult to photograph as there tiny and very fast
