AVOCET
No long ago, this bird actually bred at the Sečovlje salt-pans, although for only two more or less successful seasons.
Thus it can be seen only during migration in the shallow salt-pan basins, when swinging its head from side to side and skimming food from the water surface with its recurved bill. It is hoped, however, that in the future this gracious bird will reaquire the status of the Sečovlje salt-pans breeder.
