A farm in North-west Norfolk - 14th May 2024

 After reports that many Lapwing pairs had lost their broods in the cold weather, we went along anyway in that hope that some young had survived. We were very pleased to find and mark two very well grown young in the first field checked.

Well grown Lapwing with growth of flight feathers well under way.

We went on to locate several more pulli although not all could be located when we went to get them. We managed 2 of 2, 2 of 3, 1 of 3 then 2 of 2. There was another clutch of 3 that were too small at the moment.

Total - 7

Lapwing pulli - 7
