3 Hi all.
Two well known breeding sites for Avocets had disaster
breeding results this year,compared to previous years.Two
examples:Firstly-Leighton Moss:Several counts of birds in the high
twenties,only managed to raise four young.Secondly-Reade's
island in Lincolnshire:Over a hundred pairs of breeding avocets
only managed to raise six young.Answers to this low breeding
rate.Well you could come up with a load off factors.But to me it
shows you have to take the rough with the smooth some years.
Regards
