Venus Pool - Lapwings

Nooooo! All these birds I habitually ignore!! But  now Lapwings.... They are ever present and that's why they get ignored.... but a more dynamic / acrobatic bird in flight is hard to imagine?

Photographing one (close) in madcap flight harrying corvids with 700mm of reach takes a bit of persistence!

But this not just the season of 'distraction' but  'display' flight too, which pits your wits against TWO of them!

But then at that moment of togetherness, TWO become ONE :-)

And I don't know which one I like the best?

Well there was nowt of note (how many times have I described that as the scene at VP!) but a pretty productive day of birds which aren't worth photographing.??
