Avocet family

Over the past weeks, I have counted about 10 Avocets in total at Titchfield Haven they stay a fair distance from the hides so the birds are a long way off but I was able to take some acceptable pictures.

Last week I spotted 3 chicks with one pair of adult birds they were very small and you could only see them with binoculars. Today the chicks were in the same spot and had grown quite a lot but had reduced to only 2 chicks.
