Abstract
The feeding ecology of Lapwing chicks was studied in two agricultural study areas in central Scotland. Chicks probably fed opportunistically rather than selectively and their diet was varied but comprised mainly Coleoptera, leatherjackets (Tipulidae) and earthworms.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
