Lapwing resting. Lapwings are also known as "peewits" due to characteristic high-pitched calls "pee-wit" which males produce during the mating season. Lapwings also communicate via squeaks and crying sounds. Lapwings are nocturnal animals (active during the night). They prefer to hunt during the night to avoid black headed gulls which often steal their food. The main diet of the oystercatcher seldom involves oysters in the UK! They predominantly eat bivalves, including cockles and mussels. Given their reliance on shellfish, it is thought that in the past local declines may have been linked to the shellfish industry reducing the amount of available prey.
