The Lapwing is a very territorial bird. They have quite an annoying cry and they will divebomb you if you happen to get near a nest or their young ones. W have had several run ins with them at Millennium - not because we are looking for trouble, its just that there are so many iving on the course.
Yesterday, we came across one sitting (literally) in the middle of the
18th fairway. I drove quite close to it to take a picture. Mimi was not happy about our proximity to it.
As I got closer, the lapwing stood up and there 185 yards from the pin right in the middle of the fairway was a nest with 3 eggs in it.
