Porcelain white his sun warmed back.
Intermittent clash with black.
Delicate upturned sieving reed.
Graceful head stands poised to feed.
Knotted stilts of waters blue.
Wade in saltmarsh searching through.
An unseen silt beds mollusc fair.
Caressed by bills brush fine as hair.
Birds thrilling call sounds seedbed trumpets scare.
A shrill loud note cries out from everywhere.
Two pied, wide wings start to flutter.
Avocet takes airborne cry to utter.
