The Gull came a bit too close to the nesting area.

Very unique shot. Avocet and gull in the same frame. It look like Avocet is chasing the gull.

Remarkable depth of field as both birds appear reasonably sharp. Very well done, Joe.

A brave avocet! Those gulls are real egg and chick thieves. Great capture of the interaction between these two Joe!
