Well, this is about how much you see them.  They migrate over land at night, daytime like this. Seems like you have to be up north to really see them.

Newly hatched Lapwing

Tofsvipa - Vanellus vanellus - Northern Lapwing

NF Photo 120505, Ottenby, Öland


När jag lämnade Ottenby för sista gången den här resan fick jag syn på en kull nykläckta tofsvipeungar. Det var första gången jag såg dom så här små så jag blev riktigt glad. De är ju inte vackra, men ack så charmiga. Det var tre stycken men de var utspridda så jag kunde inte få dom i samma bild. 
On my way to leave Ottenby for this visit I suddenly spotted a lapwing with chicks. First time I was them this small so I was overjoyed. They were probably hatched the day before. It was three chicks but they were spred out so I could not get them in a single shot. They are no beauties, but o so charming.
