I do think they could have chosen a more suitable nest site, there are plenty of alternative vacancies although the rspb Elmley have allowed vegetation to overgrow island nest sites but they have started work on the electric fencing to stop the intrusion of foxes in the breed season and it will be powered by solar cells, there are much fewer avocets this year and I think is due to the thick overgrowth of the nest sites, my opinion of course.
It does look a bit precarious!!
