Observation details
Saw many Male Lapwings Display for mating and also witnessed mating thrice. Display was in two phases one where the male would dive down and fly up in 4-5 different directions with continuously calling out. Witnessed one individual do it about 7 times before landing. Landing was probably after the female gave a signal by standing upright. And then when he finally did land they both would stood upright and opened their wings to each other for a while. Another individual went on for a very long time probably because none of the females on the ground responded.
