The feisty Avocet

Avocets are known for being very feisty and protective of their young.
They are happy to tackle the diminutive but dangerous Redshank
and are not phased by heard of gallumphing beasties
All this to protect these cuties.
All photos taken at RSPB Saltholme, 26 May 2025.

Nice action Bob, great to see the young. I have yet to see an avocet this year

What general area are you in - they seem to be breeding further north every year.

I am in Bedfordshire Bob, I would typically see them on the Norfolk or Suffolk costal reserves. I feel a trip is required...
