Superb Sarah and beautifully done.

Beautifully painted Sarah 🙂

You see so few of these nowadays . A lovely painting Sarah.

Really good Sarah

A beauty of a Lapwing and it's pose Sarah, it's crest and sturdy form with speckled black spots on its eggs! It's as though it had just landed on the seas-shore to lay its eggs, with a keen eye too! Am excellent acrylic painting Sarah!

I like the alert look and carefully looking after the eggs Sarah. Lovely work.

Beautiful Sarah, great composition!

So well observed and beautifully painted. Lovely work, Sarah!

A beauty Sarah.

Superb Sarah, so well drawn and painted

This is a super painting Sarah and very reminiscent of when I worked in farming many years ago. There were plenty of lapwings about then and it wasn’t uncommon for them to nest in the middle of a ploughed field in the spring, which meant I would often have to work around the nest when tilling the soil ready for corn planting.

Your Lapwing is excellent Sarah. I loved to hear their cry in the winter and spring over the fields.

Thank so much everyone for your kind and interesting comments. I like the thought of you avoiding Lapwing nests when you were farming Frank. What a shame we don't see so many these days. Such beautiful birds. Thanks again to you all.

Thank you Romila!

Nicely done indeed.

Thanks very much Chris.

Thank you very much Petra

Acrylic on card, painted a fair few years ago when I was a student!! It goes with the Golden Plover I posted a few days ago. You don't see as many Lapwings these days sadly.
