The avocet was once extinct in the UK, but this bird, with its distinctive upturned bill, can now be seen on marshes and estuaries in the East and South West of Britain.

The Avocet is a distinctively-patterned black and white wading bird with a long up-curved beak. They are used as the emblem of the RSPB.
