The pied avocet is the symbol of the RSPB and is a wading bird. It is the symbol of the RSPB because it became extinct in the UK and recolonised Suffolk in the 1940s in Suffolk, where their location was officially kept secret at the time. It was made the RSPB logo in 1970. They have made a remarkable comeback in terms of numbers but are still Amber listed in the UK. On the IUCN Red List it is of Least Concern globally due to an extremely large range. It has an unknown population trend in general. It naturally lives in Europe, Asia and Africa. Some (but not all) of the population are migratory. In the UK it breeds mainly along the coast and its diet consists of invertebrates.

@alan678.bsky.social For the alternative theme for #BirdOfTheDay I have to select this one for #Cute. I know it features two #birds, but it is one of my personal favourite #photographs. These are captive #avocets of a mother (I presume) with a #chick. #bird #photography 🪶Please see ALT text.

A group of 13 #Avocets prior to dusk at S Devon's #PassageHouse on the Teign Estuary today. 3 fem/imm Goosanders and 10 Little Grebes were site high counts for me. A rare encounter in the field with @clennonvalley.bsky.social too 👍. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #birds

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #Solitude today, open to interpretation. The alt is #Gardenbirds
Here you see a peaceful scene with a #Spoonbill, #Ducks and some #Avocets in the first picture. And a fuzzy #Robin in the second from my garden last year.
Enjoy your day !!!

The avocet has its wings up and is running at the surface of the water as it takes off.

Two avocets standing in belly-deep water. They are white to light grey with black and white wings and a very elegant thin black beak slightly curved upwards.

Two avocets standing in belly-deep water. One has its head completely underwater and the other just pulled it out of the water with a splash, and eyes still partially closed.

Three avocets standing in belly-deep water. All three have the head out of the water but one just pulled it out and the water is still falling from the splash it made.

I'm in an Avocet type of mood.
These are non-breeding or immature Avocets.
They were captured in February, so their black breeding plumage won't be seen for another month or so.

A photo of an American Avocet in a wetland with text saying that the are known for their long bills and necks, they build simple nests, they migrate to Canada for breeding, and their global population is growing, but vulnerable in the Calgary area.

A photo of 4 American Avocet eggs in the Dawson's Landing Pond 2A MAGNA Stormpark™ in Chestermere, Alberta. The eggs are tan with dark brown speckles. There is green grass coming up around the edge of the photo and surrounding the nest.

We 'avocet' of facts today that you won't want to miss.

Our friends, the small birds called American Avocets, have taken a liking to our MAGNA Stormparks™. We even came across a nest of their eggs last year! Here's some facts about the species!

Pied avocet -- Recurvirostra avosetta

Although I have never seen a pied avocet in real life, I look at pictures and am struck by the pleasing contrast of the black and white in its plumage and the elegant curvature of its beak.

One more for #WaderWednesday A Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta). Unlike the American Avocet, this species keeps the same appearance year round. One of the commonest #shorebirds this time of year in Hungary. #BirdingHungary #waders #avocets

Not sure what these Pied Avocets were up to. Whether they were fighting or just getting randy. It's getting kind of late for breeding and besides.. the kids are all around. 😃 #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #avocets

On the salt pan lakes of Kiskunság National Park, these baby Pied Avocets are everywhere right now... being closely watched over by the parents. Any birder gets within 100 meters and the parents make a heck of a racket! 😀👍 #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #avocets

Part 3 of WWE Smackdown. The Black-winged Stilt was trying to drive the Pied Avocet away but the Avocet was having none of it! It was determined to stand its ground. #BirdingHungary #birds #shorebirds #waders #avocets #stilts

Part 2 of WWE Smackdown. The Black-winged Stilt was the aggressor, trying to drive the Pied Avocet away from the stilt chicks but when you have legs like twigs, there ain't much you can do. 😄 #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #stilts #avocets

It was like a WWE Smackdown today when a Black-winged Stilt and a Pied Avocet went at it for several minutes. 😲 The Avocet was feeding too close to the stilt chicks. #BirdingHungary #waders #shorebirds #avocets #stilts

Photo of two Avocets (Recurvirostra avosetta). The Avocet is a wading bird with long legs, a long bill, and a slightly elongated neck. The bird’s plumage is mostly white, but the top part of the head, and the back of the neck, is black; there are also black markings around the borders of the wings and the tail. The beak too is black, and not only is it elongated, it turns upwards towards the end. The long legs, partly under water in this image, are a pale blue colour. Both birds are facing towards the left of the image so that we see their left sides, broken reflections of which can be seen in the blue water.

I promised more #Avocets, so here is a pair I photographed today at RSPB Middleton Lakes in #Staffordshire (where I also had good views of Redshank, plus Reed and Sedge Warblers—photos to follow—and saw Cuckoos, and a Bittern in flight).
