Blacktoft Sands reserve, England, April 2009
Canon 50D+ 300 2.8. Hand held 400ASA.
During April, the Avocets at the Blacktoft reserve are engaged in securing a precious metre of ground on the islets prior to the mass egg laying.
Pairs come and go but if a raptor should come too close then the whole colony takes to the air creating a tremendous racket and a fine sight.
These birds are returning to their islet after a close shave with a Sparrowhawk.
