Lapwing and Intruder!!
I was on my way home from work this morning and stopped off yet again at the Belfast Harbour Reserve and watched this rabbit get closer and closer to this lapwing's nest. She did eventually see it off but it was in heavy shade and I was only getting 1/160sec so image of her seeing it off was blurred.

It surprises me that she allowed the rabbit comming so close.
Unique picture I think.
If I try to approach a lapwing they try to kill me :smile:

That's an interesting one. I've never seen that before. She must be used to them blundering about.

It looks like the rabbit was intent on getting some green food in an otherwise desolate landscape, well seen and captured. thanks for sharing.
