There is a flock of 30 to 40 lapwings in the field on the south side of the Bereleigh Road. This is a relatively unusual sight in East Meon. When I first came to East Meon around 15 years ago there seemed to be some breeding pairs on Park Hill and around Forty Acres. I have only seem the odd one or two in recent years. This is a very handsome bird with a very distinct whee-er-ee sort of cry.
