Two lapwings with 4 eggs which amazingly is later ! than last years.
About 50 yards from my farm pool hide so may get some bathers.

Interesting information, in the days when the only way to get lapwing shots was at nest we used to reckon early to mid April for the first eggs. Interestingly it was about the same time we saw the first swallows - and I saw my first two of the year yesterday! That adds up to about 10-14 days earlier over 30 years.
