Lapwings Coed-y-dinas late afternoon/evening





Left it a bit late to have any decent light but these Lapwings made up for it.

No Common Snipe visible, Shoveller still present but still right at back of lake.

Mistle Thrush plentiful in Powis Park.

    Love the Lapwing shot with the orangey water in the background. Would you mind if we shared that on our social media (Facebook and Twitter) accounts, Brian?
