The Lapwing: Close Up HD Footage (Vanellus vanellus)
Lapwings, also called peewits, are birds you might spot in fields or wetlands across the UK. They're easy to recognise with their black and white feathers and fancy crest on their heads. These birds are about the size of a pigeon but have longer legs and wings.
Lapwings are known for their noisy calls and dramatic flying displays, especially during breeding season. They lay their eggs on the ground in simple nests, usually in fields or grasslands. Sadly, their numbers have gone down a lot in recent years because of changes in farming.
These clever birds have an interesting way of protecting their nests. If a predator comes near, the parent will pretend to have a broken wing to lure the threat away. Lapwings mainly eat insects and worms, which they find by tapping the ground with their feet.
In winter, lots of lapwings from other countries join the UK birds, forming big flocks. They're an important part of our countryside and need our help to survive.
