Description
The Pied Avocet, Recurvirostra avosetta, is a large black and white wader in the avocet and stilt family, Recurvirostridae.
While the name may refer to black and white outfits once worn by European advocates or lawyers, the actual etymology is unknown. Their breeding habitat is shallow lakes with brackish water and exposed bare mud. They nest on open ground, often in small groups, sometimes with other waders.
Another picture of this species in my gallery:

L'Avocette élégante (Recurvirostra avosetta) est la seule espèce d'avocette vivant en Europe. Les adultes ont un plumage blanc sauf un capuchon noir et des marques noires sur les ailes.
Les avocettes fréquentent les estuaires, les baies, les marais salants et autres zones humides.
