Lapwings - Sandy Haven


Yesterday a huge flock of Lapwing near Sandy Haven upper Pill area on a field recently  covered in slurry - possibly form the chicken farm.   At a rough guess well over 1,000 birds but impossible to count as they lifted then settled again quite quickly and many out of sight.  The field is quarter of a mile west of the Sandy haven Pill chapel.
 
Lovely day too with Buzzard and Sparrowhawks displaying high over their woodland territories.
