Observation details
A lifer! This is the first time that a Grey-headed Lapwing has been sighted in the UK, and I was very fortunate to be only 15 minutes away by car when I heard about it. I observed the bird walk throught the grass, foraging for insects. I took several photographs, which are attched below. There were more than a hundred other birders/twitchers present while I was there. Apparently thousands visited in total. Amazing!
