Northern Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus)

"named my blog after them. love their rounded wings." "the prettiest plover i have ever seen look at the gold tipped feathers (only juveniles have these) and the iridescent wings!! so cool!!!" "Childhood memories and the funky hairdo"

Also known as: peewit or pewit, tuit or tewit, green plover, or pyewipe (Ireland/Britain). The above pic is of a juvenile.

Apparently these guys don't back down from a fight, with their wikipedia article showing one parent mobbing a marsh-harrier, and their intro description saying they'll even attack horses and cattle that come to close to the nest.

There used to be a competition in the Netherlands to find the first peewit egg of the year, to which the eggs were then collected either as food or trophy. While the practice has been allowed to continue, it is only allowed during 1 March through 9 April, and collection of the eggs is forbidden.
