Here's a clip of a Lapwing repeatedly 'dive bombing' another Lapwing which was on the ground. There was at least one other Lapwing in the vicinity which was left alone. Maybe it was a territorial thing? This was filmed yesterday at Pulborough Brooks.

Fascinating video MC, thanks for posting. Hope you don't mind, have moved it to the Pulborough Brooks forum.

No problem. My recent photo thread was also from PB. Here's the link for those who might have missed it elsewhere.

There were several other birders in the hide as I was filming this and they were also watching the Lapwing dispute. Maybe some of them were forum members? This would have been at approximately 1pm.
