Avocet Feeding (Recurvirostra avosetta)

The Avocets at Skanör didn't let me down though I didn't get many flight shots.
I saw very few Little Terns and Sandwich Tern though. It was raining when we arrived though it cleared up later.

I really like the b/w treatment you've given to this Avocet Graham. (Wish I was brave enough to try something like that!!)

A terrific pose and picture you've taken of him my friend - thanks lad.
