On 13 May to 11 June 2016, one pair of the Avocet Recurvirostra avosetta nested (photo 3) on the field water pool located at the southern end of the Biosphere Reserve „Kampinos Forest” (the Warsaw West district).This pair was accompanied by two other individuals of this species. After nearly 3 weeks of incubation, the eggs were eaten by a fox, which was recorded by automatic camera-traps. Water level decrease enabled an easy access to the nest. Birds did not attempt to repeat breeding. This record was approved by the Avifaunistic Commission.
