I remember over 50 years ago my father pointing out the Peewit to me and told me to read about it in the bird book. Of course I couldn't find it until he suggested looking under Lapwing.
This chap was very trusting and let me get quite close - either that or it was the old trick of "if you are looking at me you are not looking at my nest"
Aren't they lovey birds! Most of the large flocks that overwintered on the Somerset Levels have now gone but there are a few residents that remain. I do miss seeing and hearing them en masse though
