If you look closely at the below video you would see at 47 seconds, the herd stop their movement down the bank of the Mara River because a small lapwing (bird) makes itself bigger and vocalizes, stopping the herds progress, the herds turns back and starts crossing again. At 104 seconds they turn back and at 112 seconds it has completely turned around. The Lapwing has its nest made on the ground and is protecting its eggs from a stampede! WOW 🤩 😳 😮 🤯!! Following the annual Wildebeest migratio

This is Lapwing with grasses part 2 I couldn't reseit adding some autumn colours to it. As bird migration gets into full swing I will be watching out for lovely Lapwings around the estuaries and lakes, I love to hear their call and watch their acrobatics. I love they print of the grasses on their own as much as the second print with the lapwing. All the materials I use are listed on the website there is a link in the profile or you can go to https://www.impressionsofnature.co.uk/materials . . .
