Got a few queries regarding the avocet today, so I figured I'd post. I didn't relocate the birds with my binoculars, but Matt Grey found one remaining avocet in the far corner of the North Cell in his scope. He said the heat shimmer made it hard to locate the birds. If anyone wants to try anyway, we're open until 3:30 today.
