Very nice captures, Lars. Avocets always look very gentle birds. Good job on the exposure. Yes, those are Shelducks, Old World waterfowls.

Excellent shots Lars. I have only seen the Avocets (American Avocet) in the breeding plumage. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Vivek, the Avocet is unusual here in Sweden also. Only just over 100 couples nesting here.

lars-
thanks for sharing with us. i had to laugh because, unlike tim kuhn, i was thinking how different the avocets look compared to ones i see in my neighborhood. same same but different, i guess.

Thanks Seann, same same but different. I hear that expression a lot when I live in Thailand
