Lapwing song and contact call 4K

One of a series showing "British Birds and their Calls" including footage of the Lapwing as it forages, protects its nest, swoops in flight and calls; also shows a very delicate Lapwing chick venturing out near its nest.

I remember theirs call when I still lived in Europe. One of the first birds to come on spring migration. Nice video. 👍🙂

Thank you Thomas, so kind of you to comment! 👍

i heard this bird for the first time 2 days ago walking down a country road at night and i had no idea what it was up until i stubled across this video, ngl i pooed myself a lil bit hearing the growl like inhale the the call noise haha xD

[@johnluk]

Thanks Kai, great to know it’s still being useful. It’s certainly a call that once you are shown it you’ll never forget.

Just bought Matt Sewell's charmingly illustrated book "Our Songbirds". Alas, the first bird in the book - Lapwing - is the one I never seen or heard before. I'm so glad I found your video! Thanks!

[@johnluk]

That's lovely to hear Jasmina, hope you get to see and hear one soon!

Regularly hear them on Otley Chevin. I always thought they sounded like you were trying to tune an old radio.

[@johnluk]

Yes that’s exactly what they sound like!

[@blossomsfan]

I love Lapwings :)

[@johnluk]

Thanks MT, so do I! I looked at paintings of them when i was a kid and longed to see them for real, now I see them almost every day, lovely birds!

Reading "Finch's Fortune," by Mazo de la Roche. Finch finds one in a walk later in the book. It mentions their cry that touches the solitary walkers--

[@johnluk]

It is a very evocative call, thanks for your comment.

Very well filmed. Lots of beauty in this movie, John. Thumbs up. 👍 Thanks for sharing. Wish you a pleasant weekend. Best regards, Knut.

[@johnluk]

Thank you Knut. For once the bird came this side of the electric fence and gave me close views! Hope you have a great and bird filled weekend too! Best regards, John.

Lapwing xinh đẹp dễ thương đúng không bạn ? Lông cánh óng ánh nhiều màu đẹp . T thích nhất mấy sợi lông dài dài trên đầu của chúng . Âm thanh chúng tạo ra nghe cũng vui tai. T rất yêu thích các loài chim vì chúng rất dễ thương . 😊💖

[@johnluk]

Cảm ơn Mai, chúng thật đẹp với bộ lông óng ánh và đáng yêu quá. Tôi thực sự làm video này để thể hiện một bài hát rất lạ của họ để mọi người có thể xác định tên của họ là gì. Hy vọng bạn có một ngày đáng yêu! 😊💖
