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.

NF Photo 100628,   family no 4

Kan inte hjälpas. Men det blir fler Svarthakedoppingar. Den här nykläckta ungen serveras mat sittande på en av föräldernas rygg. :)

Can´t help it, but I post more of the Horned Grebes. This newly hatched chick gets its lunch served sitting on one parents back. :)

A chick from the first family. About 2-3 weeks old
