The Avocet (recurvirostra avosetta)
This bird is a first for me and was captured during a recent visit to Pensthorpe NR. A dainty and delicate and quite beautiful bird.
I hope you will like him.
Most grateful and appreciative for all the generous c/c's for the Hobby and particular thanks to Brian for the generous UA.

Stunning detail in the Avocet Ron and like what you have done with the foreground with the shells in focus. Must ask how you do the boarder and frame around your pictures to make them stand out, just having a go at PSE but have loads to learn.. All the best Bob
Lovely picture. Anne and I are going to the Broads this year for the first time next April so hope to see some good birds.
Cracking natural wildlife shot Ron, lovely detail and well done on the exp,
Merry Xmas to you and your good lady,
Geoff.
I was hoping to see an image of an elegant, slim, long legged bird on Christmas Day and you have not disappointed me Ron!
A fine upload Sir and Seasons Greetings to you and yours, Ed
Better than one I took in the summer, will have to up my game
a great capture with excellent bokeh that makes the delicate looking avocet stand out!
Superb work here Ron, very well exposed and great comp mate
beautiful capture Ron, exceptional that you have it so sharp right to the tp of the beak....impressive.
