Speckled Eggs!

The pastures surrounding Pry House Farm are teeming
with ground nesting birds at this time of year.
Despite the huge numbers of curlew, oyster catchers, lapwings, redshank, snipe and woodcock that are nesting all around us it is remarkably hard to find a nest. 
 
 
 This beautifully constructed nest and heavily camouflaged eggs ... 
 

...... belongs to a Lapwing.
