Lapwing .... Available maps - 1998, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008
Through the lack of any permanent breeding habitat, Lapwing have seemed forced to adopt an opportunistic approach to nesting and are entirely dependent on the correct habitat being available for any breeding success. The variation on numbers of breeding Lapwing was due to the annual variations in suitable habitat availability caused by crop types/growth. Between 1998 and 2001, the preferred nest sites of 14 pairs out of 15, were in predominantly open, bare or sparsely vegetated set-aside or germinating Sugar-Beet crops.
