Lapwing in horse field. Often wondered how they go on when animals come near to the nest or young. This one has two quite large young nearby so they can run !

Interesting shot, great positioning, even the horse between the two fence posts! I've often wondered the same thing, I guess its more dangerous when they have unattended eggs, like you say, youngsters can leg it.
HI Simon
No need mate - I could go back and do this again. ( In fact I think I will )The birds and horses are in the field when I pass every day. Its just a case of shunting the car back and forth to get in the right spot.
Phil H and Fran can vouch for that, The only thing done was a broad white fuzz toned down in a line above the birds head which was caused by a very OOF line of barbed wire right in front of the car door.
Cheers

PS Looking at it again- I agree it does look a bit odd.
