Lots of birds covered here and a pleasant walk with your friend no doubt enhanced the whole experience. Great Egret is becoming “just another bird” for you! Surely in all the world, Lapwing must be one of the most stunning of all shorebirds. It truly is fabulous!David M.

Maybe one day both of us will get a decent image of them.<br />All the best to you and have a good week.
