Time to explore, thought the oystercatcher
And hopped from her perch
She strolled through the shallows (well, she is a wader)
And she strolled and she strolled
She went past the big rock…
all the way to the white stone hills
She then made her way along Concrete Road…
until something caught her eye. She paused for a moment.
And went on her way.
From the Oystercatcher album.
Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

23 Feb 2009Lois thanks. I don't usually manage to get in range of them, so it was a bit of surprise to be able to follow it for quite so long.

23 Feb 2009Thanks Neil, it was a toss up between these and the fulmars (which have become something of a weekend standard), but these are more colourful.

27 Feb 2009Karen, a pleasure. I'm amazed no-one has created a cartoon oystercatcher. They're perfect for it!
