Lapwing
are a widespread breeder in Øygarden, although
Tjeldstø is undoubtedly the best place for them they breed
in suitable habitat whereever it is found. The species can turn up in
winter during cold weather movements and has occurred in every month of
the year.
Lapwing chicks are very obedient of their parents and quickly hide,
then remain motionless on command.
