A brief mid-afternoon visit in sweltering heat produced a pair of avocets on the end of the spit today. It's amazing to think that these days avocets barely raise an eyebrow amongst birders, yet this is still only my third record of the species at the flash and they are the latest in an ever increasing list of impressive birds at the site this month. So far in June we've had serin (not seen by me), black-winged stilts, avocets, great white egret, black tern, red kite and Mediterranean Gulls. What next?
