SAVING LAPWINGS
Like Nicola Chester (August issue), I have a love of the lapwing and consider its courtship display equal to any spectacle that the natural world offers. Sadly, over the past few decades, I have witnessed the virtual wipe-out of the large flocks that were once so common on the East Midlands farmlands.
I usedto “I haven’t got time for that nonsense”, to the contractors not even knowing what a lapwing was.
