Migrant flocks of up to five hundred birds aren’t unusual. In autumn foraging is often done  in ploughed fields – the food is all kinds of invertebrates, pupae and imagos of insects, molluscs, earthworms ...

 

The flight view shows the black-and-white broad wings, with rounded tips, of the lapwings; by their slightly narrower wings  it is possible, with luck, to distinguish the females and the young birds. The crest of male birds is larger.
