The Group have been studying chick survival at a number of sites on the Norfolk coast, the exact locations are deliberately not given for security reasons. All have been colour ringed with 2 colours on the tibia of one leg and a yellow over metal ring on the tibia of the other leg. If you see a colour ringed Avocet please send details of when and where you saw it to John Middleton (including a grid ref or co-ordinates if possible). Full details of the life of an individual will be sent to you if the combination you saw matches one in the Group Database.E-Mail HERE |

05/08/1991. It was seen again at the following locations in England:
