This photo of a nesting Lapwing was taken in 1895 by Reginald B. Lodge, an ornithologist, photographer, and painter. He received the first medal ever presented for nature photography by The Royal Society. It's believed to be the first photograph of a wild bird.

Happy Easter to all our followers celebrating this weekend, but did you know that Northern Lapwing may be responsible for Easter Eggs? (*with a little help from the Brown Hare) 😅🐰🥚⬇️

High tide waders roosts are one of nature's spectacles, and when the light is just right it gets even better. Thanks for sharing 🥰
