DSP08082 - Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta)
A long-legged wading bird with striking pied plumage and a long, thin upturned bill.
Re-establishing itself as a British breeding species in 1947 on the Suffolk coast, Avocets now breed more widely around England's east coast. In winter the population is augmented by birds from Europe. Large flocks can be found in suitable coastal habitat, predominantly in the south-east and south-west of England.
