zoology
A long-legged wading bird with black and white plumage and a thin bill that curves upward.

Its pied colouring and slim shape make it easy to recognise, and the bird is the emblem of several conservation groups. Avocets nest on open shores and lagoons and are sensitive to disturbance. The form avoset is a rare variant of the same name.
