 LONDON — With its striking black and white plumage and elegant upturned bill, the avocet is one of the most distinctive birds. It's also a great conservation success story for Britain's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
Their Web site explains, "Avocets used to breed along the coast from Sussex to Yorkshire, but regular taking of adults and eggs for food, egg collecting and taxidermy eventually led to their disappearance as a British breeding bird in 1842. But, thanks to the work of the RSPB, in 50 years avocets have gone from a handful to several hundred pairs." |
