Lapwing

 Lapwing, Yaxley Lode, 26th June 2021 © Vince Lea

! A sandy-looking plover in with a flock of lapwings! We got a few glimpses in flight but mostly it was hunkered down in the beet field. I got a terrible picture hand-holding the camera at 120x zoom, but it was too small to see enough on the camera viewing screen. On getting home and looking at it on the laptop it is clearly just a very weird sandy coloured lapwing. There are 9 normal plumage Lapwings in the photo, the one in the middle row is the odd one. It looked very striking in flight.' VL
