Pit Lane Lapwings
An after work Christmas Eve dash to check the Pit Lane Lapwing flock in torrential rain showers and howling W>7 failed to find any Golden Plover but a good count of Starling and Lapwing.
The Lapwings were stood head down into the wind whilst the Starlings were slowly moving across the field feeding. A few Fieldfare were in the trees beyond the pitch as well as Blackbirds.
