Incredible focusing and lighting on this wonderful group, JJ.
 
An amazing aerial of these lapwings in flight. About ten minutes ago did I hear the sound of migrating cranes in the night sky not far from my flat. I watched TV and noticed an unusual but somehow familiar noise. I turned off the TV tone and immediately opened :love: the balcony door. I heard the sound of migrating cranes at night ... 🎼

Really cool group, JJ. The ones that are common here, the souther lapwings, I never see them in such large groups. Usually just a couple.
