This avocet is, contrary to what it may seem at first glance, standing in one of the liveliest places in Germany: the mudflatts of the waddensea. I took this picture 2008.

#Säbelschnäbler am chillen. Bis zu diesem Bild hatte ich angenommen, bei Vögeln wären die Knie zu sehen. Was ich für die Knie gehalten habe sind die Knöchel, daher können die nach vorne knicken. Die Knie sitzen unter den Federn und der "Fuss" sind eigentlich nur die Zehen.

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.

Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) wading in shallow water. The bird has striking black and white plumage and a long, slender, upward-curving bill. Its pale blue-grey legs are partially submerged, and a leg ring is visible.
Shot at WWT Martin Mere near Burscough, UK.

I visited Black Hole Marsh, #Seaton early this morning to check out the first breeding #Devon #Avocet. It was peaceful and quiet and the Avocet were all present and correct - two adult, three young. Lovely to see this elegant wader. And they also lived up to their feisty reputation as parents - seeing off any birds that came too close

+ RECURVIROSTRA AVOSETTA + Stunning to see that somebody out there is creating creatures, that are perfectly adapted to the food they eat and search for... how about a beak like this for example.
