Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) defending breeding territory,
Pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) defending breeding territory, by standing on the head of the rival and dunking them under for as long as they can, usually not more than a couple of seconds. The Avocet colonised Britain when coastal marshes in East Anglia were flooded to provide a defence against possible invasion by the Germans.
