Good shot, however i think the focus is more to the young than the mum. Well taken in the low light condition.

Hi Valo,

What a beautiful photo! A happy family in a wonderful posture.
Yesterday I went in a short trip to Saraturi Lake, strictly protected area from Danube Delta Biosfera Reserve. There are a lot of bird species here, pelicans, terns, gulls, ruffs, shanks, stilts and others. This year, first chicks I saw in gulls colony a week ago, but yesterdai a saw two Recurvirostra family with six - the first one - and five - the second one - chicks.

Hello Pekka,

These are such elegant birds but also quietly comical - they appear to have bumped their beaks and bent them upwards!

A lovely photograph recording this little family group. Three always makes for good composition and this is no exception!

I think it is interesting to see the contrast between the two areas of sand, and to note where the birds are searching for food.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Pekka,
Mommy and kids around...nice composition, bringing in a good part of the frame with the river bank and the rest with the waters. Avocet mum concentrating on her chicks and chicks camouflaged quite well with the environmnet. Very well done.

Aaahh they are very cute little chicks!
A lovely photo of this happy Avocet family :-)
Pin-sharp and very crisp.
Excellent DOF too.
Nice composition and great poses.
Superb BG.
The photo seems slightly tilted looking at where the legs meet the water though it can easily be sorted.

Very well done and TFS!!

bonjour pekka
la netteté est un peu juste et le POV un peu haut ce qui fait que cela ecrase un peu l'image mais je trouve interessant d'avoir un parent et ses petits.
