This guy was trying to taunt me all the time, he kept following me around while I was at Askøy Herdla Norway. Anyone know what kind of bird this curious fellow is? The photos was taken at quite a distance, so they are not perfect. I am just wondering if it is common that these are so curious or if I was in the wrong place 😛
It might not have been curiosity. Lapwings are known for vehemently defending their nests (even with the help of neighbouring nesting pairs), so maybe it was ust keeping an eye on the suspected predator. 😉 Be thankful it just followed you, about a year ago I had to make a rather hasty retreat from a flock of nesting lapwings…

That’s a lapwing, if I’m not mistaken! Funny animals in any case 🙂
