Northern lapwing tries to drive cranes away


This May 2018 video shows a northern lapwing trying to drive two common cranes away, as they were too close to its nest.

Kees van der Klauw in the Netherlands made this video.

Once, in Poland, I saw a northern lapwing trying to drive a red fox away. And then, a black-tailed godwit tried. Then, a redshank. Then, a crane couple. But the red fox stayed.
