Photograph of a Lapwing incubating its eggs, for which in 1895 Reginald Badham Lodge (1852–1937) received from the Royal Photographic Society the first medal ever presented for nature photography. Hosking and Lowes stated their belief that this was the first photograph of a wild bird.

I would be grateful if you could help me clarify any information about this photo.
After being seen going to a tree, once camera was in hand, this bird appeared to be able to predict my blinks and moved around quite a bit not far in front of me for a few minutes without a glimpse.
