A first run out for Lapwing pulli resulted in 10 young being found. Field conditions are quite different to previous years. Some crops are struggling with the recent dry spell. Birds have nested in fields that have not been sown so vegetation is quite long or thick, while the pea fields are all really rather bare. We managed to find some pulli, our first hatchlings of 2025.
