17 Avocets and Barnsley town centre in the back ground.
Un-chuffing-believable.

But but but........Wombwell Ings and the Old Moor should have a share of all these avocets and other waders.
In fact there should be more of these birds at Wombwell Ings and Old Moor because there's far more water areas at these two sites with the specific purpose of attracting migrant and breeding wading birds (and wildfowl) during the spring.
