Avocet
Recurvirostra avosetta
The Avocet is 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.
Although still predominantly a coastal breeder, atlas data reveal an increasing number of inland breeding locations. However, coastal freshwater marshes are where Avocets are seen at their best. Elegant bluish-grey legs enable a purposeful gait as they sweep their bill from side to side in shallow water to sift tiny invertebrates from the mud.
