Avocet (Pied Avocet) Recurvirostra avosetta
Now a common breeding bird in coastal scrapes in East Anglia, thanks largely to the efforts of the RSPB. Although scarcer in winter at some of the traditional breeding grounds, birds are now wintering in the region in much larger numbers, typically at estuaries like Breydon Water.
