Truly captured the landing of this Avocet George and with the series of captions makes it a very interesting series, well done.

I wasn't expecting a head-on landing! The third one is very nice with the outstretched wings.

Great series George. Its amazing how the bird could land with almost no splash. Certainly very different from the ducks that I've been watching lately.
