Avocets (Recurvirostra avosetta)

The trip to Skanör was a big disappointment compared to our wonderful trip there 2 years ago. The terns and skylarks were uncooperative this time and I got no decent flight shots of the Avocets but at least I got this picture of a pair in the water.

Oh how smart they look Graham... you've really handled the exposure beautifully lad.

Many thanks for showing them to us my friend - they're still not really up in these parts, just the occasional visitor.
