Hi. I'm very new to bird watching. I'm back on hols in Northumberland and visited Alnmouth yesterday.
I think I saw Lapwings feeding on the estuary banks. It was the head tuft that seemed distinctive. But due to distance and light, I couldn't make out much else. They certainly looked dark on upper body, with white neck/lower body.
Would this ID fit with the location?
Certainly sounds plausible JP, and the tuft is distinctive, and if the light is right, the back and sides iridesce beautifully
