Lapwing Lapwing - Green Plover

Called Lapwing because of its undulating flight and also known as Peewit in imitation of its call, the Lapwing, usually found in flocks, has a beautiful green petrol colour and sheen in sunlight.

Like a large, crested plover, it is also called the Northern Lapwing to distinguish it from southern species and is native to temperate Eurasia.
