Avocet on the Otter

I have been overseas pretty much continually since late June, so it was great to be back on the patch and even more so for the surprise of finding two Avocets! Only my third sighting on the Otter, the last being on 15th March 2012. A lovely evening on the Otter with other notable species being a Green Sandpiper, 10 Dunlin and 2 Ringed Plover, plus an obliging Cetti's Warbler.
