Avocets and other birds: aerial activity at Marshside, Lancashire

March 26, 2010:
Although the Avocets perhaps provided the main interest today there was also much activity in the air from waders and wildfowl. A group of Shelduck flew close by.......



Black-tailed Godwits frequently circled the marsh.......



Tufted duck frequently changed position.......



.......and, just occasionally, an Avocet took to the air.
