4 avocet chicks have hatched successfully at WWT Steart Marshes. Parents noisy and protective and viewable at distance across new developing saltmarshes from embankment viewpoints near Steart village. Park in WWT Steart Gate car park and walk towards breach along new footpath. This evening joined by second family from successful NNR breeding pair!
Re: Avocet breed successfully at WWT Steart Marshes
three pairs evident today, active and responding to raptors etc. No chicks seen, but adults behaviour consistent with having chicks within defended areas.
