It is common through temperate Eurosiberia. It is highly migratory over most of its extensive range, wintering further south as far as north Africa, northern India, Pakistan, and parts of China. It migrates mainly by day, often in large flocks. Lowland breeders in westernmost areas of Europe are resident. It occasionally is a vagrant to North America, especially after storms, as in the Canadian sightings after storms in December 1927 and in January 1966. It is a wader that breeds on cultivated land and other short vegetation habitats. 3–4 eggs are laid in a ground scrape. The nest and young are defended noisily and aggressively against all intruders, up to and including horses and cattle. It is a 28-33cm long bird with a 67-87cm wingspan and a body mass of 128-330g. It has rounded wings and a crest. It is also the shortest-legged of the lapwings. It is mainly black and white, but the back is tinted green. The male has a long crest and a black crown, throat and breast contrasting with an otherwise white face. Females and young birds have shorter crests, and have less strongly marked heads, but plumages are otherwise quite similar. This is a vocal bird in the breeding season, with constant calling as the crazed tumbling display flight is performed by the male. The typical contact call is a loud, shrill “pee-wit” from which they get their otname of peewit. Displaying males usually make a wheezy “pee-wit, wit wit, eeze wit” during their display flight; these birds also make squeaking or mewing sounds. It feeds primarily on insects. . 📸: @ogunturkay 📸: Pentax K-3 Mark III . . #pentax #pentaxian #ogunturkay #ricohimaging #bird #sweden #kings_birds #pentax_wildlife #pentaxk3mkiii #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #ricohpentax #thewildlifebiologist #teampentax #bestbirdshots #birds」11月10日 6時22分
