If I am not wrong this is a juvenil....

When I was looking through last years photos to see if I could find something nice to post in this week´s BPW I found these two young birds. Both photographed in an enclosed field with horses. NF Photo 090713

    Very nice! The one feather sticking straight up from the Lapwing's head made me smile.

    Beautiful shots. I love the subtle color changes of the Black-headed Gull. Those gulls are so hard to differentiate for me, especially during their pre-adult lives.

    That photo of the Northern Lapwing juvie with that big eye is priceless :-)

    It's always interesting to find juvenile birds - but the plumage changes can be very difficult. Great photos!

    Great shots, I love lapwings and i love the gull's little head tilt. Id'ing them (especially juvies is SO hard for me!)
