Lapwing Combat
I was on duty this afternoon at the Hide at RSPB Belfast Harbour Reserve and arrived to find young lapwing chick being rescued from falling down drain on road. Observant guy had seen the mother looking through grate and he went to see what the problem was. It ended happily!!

These birds were not the parents and were sparring with each other all afternoon.

That's a nice action shot. I always think that these birds are so impressive in flight.
