Was waiting for a good moment to share my last photo of a lapwing. But I guess today is just as good as any day?
It’s taken in October and this was a lone lapwing among a bunch of geese. Look at those big wings! 🖤
@kolombiken 😍🖤
@kolombiken That's a great capture 🤩 I wasn't familiar with these birds so I've gone to learn some more about them - hoping I can spot one someday :)
@hejchristian Oh! You’re in Portugal right? They’re moving there now for the winter. Keep your eyes open!
And thanks! 💜
@kolombiken Yay, happy to learn some of them over-winter here; I checked the map on iNaturalist and some observations have been made near me, we'll need to venture out to try and find some soon ☺️
@kolombiken Snygg!
@iakonkret Eller hur!
@kolombiken Ja! Både snygg bild, snyggt fångat och snygg fågel. Och vingarna!! 🥰
@iakonkret De är riktigt härliga fåglar! Längtar redan till våren då de kommer tillbaka och börjar flyga runt och ropa på sitt väldigt speciella sätt. 🥰
@kolombiken Haha, kollar upp det nu. Ropet alltså. Pga nyfiken.
@iakonkret Låter lite som en blandning mellan pipleksak och dataspel tycker jag. 😁
@kolombiken Haha, bra liknelse. Nästan så jag också kommer att känna igen det om jag hör den.
@kolombiken Lovely 👏👏
@kolombiken big wings! What a lovely photo
@Mimesatwork Thank you!
@arcturus Thanks! 🥰
Oh my gosh it's such a cutie! I love its hair and makeup, truly a stylish fellow.
@emma_cogdev Yes, they’re so stylish! And they got one of the best sounds (in my opinion).
Nov 8, 2026, 12:55 PM@kolombiken Wooow!!! The most beautiful bird of them all.
@meraord True! They’re beautiful. 🥰
@kolombiken wow!! Amazing bird and such a cool shot 😍
