This female Sociable Lapwing (<em>Vanellus gregarius<\/em>) is one among nine birds that have been fitted with state-of-the-art satellite tags by scientists at the Sociable Lapwing Project, a collaborative effort by BirdLife International, Swarovski and The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Thanks to &#8216;The Amazing Journey&#8217; \u2013 the popular face of this project \u2013 internet users can follow, real time, the migratory movements of these birds. The tags have revealed that these nine Sociable Lapwings, which breed in Kazakhstan, overwinter in places as far apart as Saudi Arabia and India.
