There is a pair in Hobart regularly nests in the middle of a suburban roundabout. Virtually the first trip the chicks have to make each year is to cross the road to a park nearby.

Dear all,

The perversity of Lapwings to nest in very public areas is amazing. There was a pair that regularly nested on the golf course in Armidale (not sure if they are still doing so). And they swooped, but seemed to target one golfer in particular who would end up in an absolute fury, flinging clubs at the birds. Of course, onlookers thought this quite funny, because the golfer in question although on a very low handicap, was quite often very grumpy, to say the least.
