Lapwing Chicks

It is rare to see lapwings nesting in this part of Yorkshire. But a friend of mine has created specific 'lapwing strips' to encourage these beautiful plumed birds. I spent three weeks watching three successfully hatch their broods.

These birds have benefitted from higher level stewardship scheme funding and it has really made a difference to their success in this area.
