These Avocets have only breed in Gloucestershire in the last few years. They are such great feisty birds that are always up for a quarrel with their neighbours. They appeared to me to have a successful breeding season as there were quite a few juveniles around at the end of the breeding season. They tend to depart from us during the winter months and end up on estuaries on the south coast. I am always pleased when they return in numbers during the spring and they see to be colonising well.
