Młode czajki po przymrozkach

Morning frosts appeared in the Bydgoszcz area for several days in a row in mid-April, posing a threat to baby lapwings. Yes, they have down, can cuddle with each other and their parents, climb into holes sheltered from the wind, and so on. However, such weather means fewer insects (i.e., food) and weakens them, and therefore less energy to avoid foxes, cats, martens, crows, and other threats. And if moisture were to arrive and the water on the down turned to ice, the risk of freezing became very real. That's why I was worried about the baby lapwings from Strzelce Dolne, which we saw in one of the previous videos, and I came to see how the young lapwings had weathered the frost. The video shows, among other things, mock lapwing attacks. Also, I apologize, but I used a microphone so loud that it's better to turn the volume up before broadcasting the video. Let me remind you that although the main wave of lapwing breeding is practically behind us, especially in the first half of June, for example, in recently mowed meadows you can still find chicks from late or repeat breeding. Enjoy watching!
