'We don't normally get a post-breeding avocet flock at Dunkirk, but for some reason one has been building up over the past 2 weeks. Fifty adults were present this morning. This photo shows 44 adult avocets and one of this year's fledged juveniles (right-most bird). The flock includes colour-ring M8, which some people may remember from 2013, when the youngster was photographed being fed by oystercatchers. That bird was subsequently seen at an oystercatcher roost at Snettisham, but has now apparently decided that it is an avocet after all!' TM
