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 !

Hi Birdwatcher, well done on your find, another bird I've not seen in the flesh.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Well done Birdwatcher. I'm soooo jealous as I'd love to see one myself. ;-)
There is something new to learn everyday...

Hi Birdwatcher
Fabulous shots of the Avocet
Last time I saw one {a few} was at Titchwell Reserve last year
Fabulous birds to see anytime
Regards
Kathy and Dave

Hi Birdwatcher, beautiful photos - I'll bet that sighting made your day, it certainly would mine. Thanks for sharing those.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Nice one Birdwatcher! I'd be thrilled too! Such elegant and graceful birds!
