SATURDAY CRITTERS

I was walking along the coastal path going towards Stricklands Glen, when I photographed this Oystercatcher on the rocks.
I am linking this post with SATURDAY CRITTERS.

  2. ...it must need a strong bill to open oysters!

  3. I'm wondering if that bird's species is oyster catcher or if it is a special breed of crane? We have white cranes here, it seems they are fishing all day long. I've not watched long enough to see what they are catching.

  7. Hi Margaret, did you see Bill posted an oystercatcher as well? Perhaps you saw the same one. (just joking!) This bird's eye and beak are very bright. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Jo
