Spotted at Gruinart in April 2025, a Lapwing taking a bath with water drops flying through the air around it.

Unfortunately the only usable picture I managed to get of it, a mid air tussle between a Lapwing and a Heron. I was taking pictures of another bird when out of the corner of my eye noticed a commotion. Quickly pivoted over and rushed to take pictures. As quick as it started it was already over.
Same as with the previous picture I’m not sure what these two lapwings were doing at Islay’s RSPB Gruinart reserve. I assume it was some kind of mating ritual, as I took the picture in April 2024.
