Field full of Lapwings

A flying visit to Tracys field at Shelf Moor found around 200 Lapwings , c50 Starling, 5 BH gulls but no sign of the Golden Plovers although I didnt have time to scan the surrounding fields. 1 Snipe showed briefly in the top corner of the field but soon disappeared back into a trench.
