Watching a pair in all their monochrome glory performing a courtship chase around a sand quarry about as far from the sea as you can get shows how successfully these shorebirds have recolonised the country.

Avocets were driven to extinction in Britain back in the early 1800s by nest-raiders who prized the birds' eggs for pancake-making.
