This 2014 video is about a northern lapwing at its nest in Friesland province in the Netherlands. Lapwing eggs used to be sought there for eating; now, not for eating any more.
Translated from regional broadcaster Omrop Fryslân in the Netherlands today:
The first northern lapwing egg of Fryslân was found at Vegelinsoord village. Eduard van der Hoek (34) from Grou found the egg on Thursday morning at 11.45 am in a plot of farmer Henk Hosper. According to tradition Van der Hoek gets the Sulveren Ljip [silver northern lapwing in Frisian; a sculpture] for his discovery.
The Sulveren Ljip was presented at 3 pm by the provincial commissioner Arno Brok. This dod not happen in the meadow, but in Hospers’ farmyard in order to disturb the nest as little as possible.
Translated from Dutch NOS TV today:
It is the earliest date ever that such an egg (in Frisian ljipaai) was found. There are records of finding the first egg ever since 121 years ago. It was always found in March until now.
This 17 March 2018 video in Frisian is about the awarding of last year’s Sulveren Ljip sculpture.

Yes, in itself lovely; but a symptom of climate change. Good that at least lapwings seem to adapt to it; not all wildlife can.
