Lapwing
Also known as the peewit in imitation of its display calls, its proper name describes its wavering flight. Its black and white appearance and round-winged shape in flight make it distinctive, even without its splendid crest. This familiar farmland bird has suffered significant declines in the last 25 years. The species breeds largely on farmland, especially among crops sown in spring which are adjacent to grass and bare land. Also on pasture, wet grassland and marshes. It winters on flooded grassland, estuaries, coastal wetlands, short grassy fields and ploughed fields.
When to see this species : Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
