My First Avocet Sighting

Really excited to see my first ever Avocet on the Lake at Washington WWT. It was quite a distance away but these are the best of the photos I took - it wouldn't stay still and I have lots of it's bum !

    Its the fourth year running that the Avocets have returned and sucessfully reared chicks so just hope the mate turns up this year too
