The Lapwing
Ref no: 100
Price:
£2.50
Format:
Paperback - 24 pages
Description: The lapwing is one of the best known
birds of open countryside, and this book describes the range, habitat, food and behaviour of the
species. The nature and benefits of flocking are investigated, together with food piracy by gulls. Breeding from the 'scrape displays' of early spring, to the summer dispersal of adults and young is fully
explained, followed by a description of the travels of these
highly mobile birds. The author also looks at the relationship between the lapwing and agriculture, in the light of the problems faced by this popular but declining bird.
