This was our second sortie for Lapwing chicks having found that the ones seen on our last attempt were too small to take the coded ring. There was no such problem today as assisted by ERB we located and captured 3 of at least 4 Lapwing young. Each was large enough to get their individually identifiable ring combination.
We also checked three Little Ringed Plover chicks that were just a little too small for metal rings. Perhaps we'll be able to find them in a week or so.
In the afternoon the farm fields were fairly productive with a total of six Lapwing chicks ringed, two of which got coded rings for the Lapwing project.
Totals: 9
Lapwing - 9 (5 colour ringed)
