Interesting day over the flashes (anyone that knows me knows I very rarely venture to the Flashes): Winchat, Oystercatcher, 5 Avocet Chicks, Avocet, Dunlin, Common Sandpiper, Linnet, Yellow Wagtail, plenty of Gulls - don't ask me what, anything other than a BHG I'm lost, Shellduck, Gadwall, Tufted ducks, Mallard and 6 ducklings, coot, Moorhen, Lapwing.
Unfortunately saw a BHG take an Avocet Chick and a LBBG (I think) take a BHG Chick and have him for dinner

The good news is that there are still 6 Avocet chicks. Unfortunately it would appear that the chick taken was a freshly born one.Interesting day over the flashes (anyone that knows me knows I very rarely venture to the Flashes): Winchat, Oystercatcher, 5 Avocet Chicks, Avocet, Dunlin, Common Sandpiper, Linnet, Yellow Wagtail, plenty of Gulls - don't ask me what, anything other than a BHG I'm lost, Shellduck, Gadwall, Tufted ducks, Mallard and 6 ducklings, coot, Moorhen, Lapwing.

The 3rd clutch was due to hatch today . So it could well have been one of those the 6 older chicks are 5 and 6 days old. I think they would b too big for a BHG.

Conversations with Andy Warr and Paul Rhodes have confirmed this is the same colour-ringed Avocet that was present at Clifton Pits on the 18th, 19th and 22nd April. Like me, Andy has also submitted details to the BTO so lets see what comes back.

Possibly same bird seen twice at Middleton RSPB twice in early spring - ring not read as too distant. Was one of a pair on both occasions.
