The avocets are still present but have drifted further west and are becoming a bit difficult to pick out against the glare and waves.
It took several of us (Mourad Jabra, Craig Corcoran, Dustin D. et. al.) a a number of minutes to locate them. Walk to the very end of the pier to the fence and look directly west. The birds are currently about 400m west of the pier. A scope is mandatory. Alternatively, you could try walking down the beach to the west and scanning the water; this may eliminate some of the effects of glare. Directions in Len's previous post.
