White-tailed Lapwing, RSPB Blacktoft Sands

What a morning !  Was planning a day watching a USA drone fly at RAF Waddington, then the plans went straight out the window!  There we were thinking about breakfast and pegging washing out when the pager bleeped......a white-tailed lapwing at Blacktoft Sands, just a few miles up the road. So off we went and there was just 8 folk in the hide when we got there (and two of those worked there!) but it soon filled up and queuing outside the hide so we had excellent views and then beat a retreat. A bird we had seen before in northern India but a new UK bird for us taking Karen's list to 430.
