The Pied Avocet well deserves its name and has not usurped its qualifier of elegant. This large wader is easily recognizable with its fine black beak curved upwards, its white plumage dotted with black spots, its gray blue legs, the feet are webbed. Both sexes are similar.
Avocets are gregarious birds. It is very common to see them in groups, on the ground or in flight during migrations.
