Head down, tail up. This Pied Avocet was fully focused on probing the shallow water, completely unaware that it was unintentionally contributing to today’s theme.

A pied avocet of which I haven’t seen a single one so far this year. It’s also scratching its bum. 🪶 #piedavocet #kluut

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.

Baby Pied Avocet foraging in the shallow water, trying to find something to eat... Mama, blurry in the background in the grass, is still close by, keeping a sharp eye on her precious little one.

Every year, May is youngsters' time... Here's a baby #PiedAvocet trying to find food independently, but mama is still keeping a close watch in the back. #RecurvirostraAvosetta #BirdsinLatin #Birds #Birding #Birdphotography #Wildlife

Kluut staat op 1 poot. 1 vleugel in de lucht, de andere zijwaarts; het ziet er sierlijk uit, alsof hij of zij danst.

En ja de kluut liet zich ook weer van zijn of haar mooiste kant zien

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): It's a high-key image, dominated by whites and some hints of black. It shows a pied avocet swimming, with its characteristic black and white coloration and long, dark, upward-curved beak. The waters are also white, due to the reflections of a clear cloudy sky and the high-key effect applied during the photographic processing. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): Es una imagen en clave alta, por lo tanto, con dominio de blancos y algunos toques de negro. Se ve a una avoceta nadando, con su característica coloración blanquinegra y su largo y oscuro pico curvado hacia arriba. Las aguas son de color blanco, también, debido a los reflejos de un cielo nuboso claro y a la clave alta aplicada en el revelado fotográfico.

2 pied avocets mating

Spring is also the start of breeding season for a lot of birds in the UK including these pied avocets. #piedavocet #avocet #britishbirds #ukbirds #birdphotography #ukwildlife #birds

Wenn man an den Wattenmeeren der Insel Texel (NL) entlanggeht, kann man mit etwas Glück diesen aussergewöhnlichen Vogel entdecken. Mit seinem schwarz-weissen Federkleid und den nach oben gebogenen Schnäbeln gehören Säbelschnäbler zu den markantesten Küstenvögeln.

White Stork with white and black body and bright orange bill and legs

Cropped shot of a pink Greater Flamingo preening with its darker pink bill trimmed in black.

Straight on view of a Common Snipe, showing its symmetric brown and tan striped head leading to a ridiculously long bill.

It's all about the bill for the Pied Avocet. The bill is thin and upturned.
