Each year, thousands of Pied Avocets come to Hong Kong and spend the winter in Mai Po Nature Reserve.
When the tide is low, sometimes they get really close to the Birdhides on the mudflats while searching for food.
Occasionally, some of them get carried away feeding right underneath my nose.
It is a privilege to be able to watch these beautiful birds so closely, and it always makes my day.

Great set of images,your really fortunate to have so many overwintering, and to get them so close is marvellous.
To radość oglądać te śliczne ptaki. Świetne są ich dzioby wygięte do góry. Zdjęcie z ptakami w locie jest śliczne. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
It's fun to watch these beautiful birds. Great are their beaks bent upwards. Photo of birds in flight is beautiful. I greet the Polish.
Lovely set of images great work.
You are so lucky. Avocets are truly beautiful waders.

Well I understand that it made your day as the pictures are wonderful. I used to see it every day when I lived in Camargue, but now I've not seen it for years!
Gorgeous photos, especially of the immense multitude of those birds! making strange patterns in the action, love it!
Excelente serie, un acercamiento muy pero que muy bueno, te felicito.
Un abrazo.
They look so graceful with their little turned up beaks.
While hunting for food, they are checking their makeup in the water.
