They're back!
Avocets at Burton! A week ago there was one. Now over 30. Although I've seen them every year for a while, I've never seen them flock like this. I guess it's because they are still arriving and haven't set up nesting territory yet. Spectacular to see them synchronised like this. Well worth a visit.

Then I spent a couple of freezing hours down the road unsuccessfully waiting for Short Eared Owls to appear. But the banter was good to listen to!!
