Description:
For the first time this book brings together available information about the avocet, and describes the success achieved in Britain in encouraging breeding colonies to become established. The book has chapters dealing with plumage, distribution and populations, food, feeding ecology and predators. A further chapter details courtship, breeding and migration. Avocets breed in colonies and they strongly defend their nest area. The final chapter deals with managing and conserving avocet habitats, showing how they can be encouraged to breed.
