Description: | The Lapwing, (shown here in summer plumage) is also known as the Peewit due to its distinctive call and is widespread across Europe and Asia. It prefers open, flat habitats with short vegetation. As agriculture encroached on the Lapwing's traditional habitat, it managed to adapt to living on farm fields and became a relatively common breeding bird in many areas. However, like many farmland birds it has declined in number over recent years, and is the focus of conservation efforts. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
