Couple of shots from today of the Lapwing and Dabchick.

 

[BRASH]

Both great, I particularly like the 'Lappy'. I've a real soft spot for these birds. So common when I was a kid, sadly they struggle now.

Anyhow, nice stuff

Thank's Brian. We often get flocks of up to about 2-300 of these around the area where I mostly go.

Both very good but for me the Lapwing has it.
When I was growing up in the glen we had hundreds of them nesting in the rough muir around the house. I used to just lay on the ground & watch them wheeling & diving. Their call & flight was a bit special for me too.
When I visit home now though there is not a single pair on the muir. Curlews are scarcer too up there.
Thank you for sharing & for bringing back some nice memories.

I've spent many hours at Ogston and I think that's the first time I've seen the Lapwings move into the water.

Great shot, what lens was it?

 

[lammie]

Thanks all for your comments, appreciated.

These were taken with the Sigma 300mm f2.8 + 2x ext.

 

[FiestaRed]

Thanks for that Lammie, knowing there's a 2x on there makes them even more impressive.
