In the car park hide we watch as the lapwings put on an impressive display defending their chicks from a Black-backed gull. Sadly although they bombarded him relentlessly a chick lost his life.
Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus) Mostly found on rocky coasts but also on freshwater lakes (as here) and moreland. usually lays 2-3 eggs. Feeds on fish, carrion, shellfish and small birds.
