Oystercatchers!
One of my favourite birds is the Oyster catcher. They dress well in lovely black dinner jackets and accessorise with startlingly orange bills and legs. Their cry is a delicate 'peep'. They're very shy and it's rarely that you can get close enough to them to take a decent photo. ,P.But yesterday I was in luck! The beach was quiet and I saw these birds from some distance away. I took my time getting as close as I could and took about 100 photos. Thank heaven for digital. I won't bore you with all of them (OK, I heard that sigh of relief) but here's a sample.

Must say have never seen one of these lovelies. Wonder if they are on the West coast of the states? Hmmm!
Thanks for taking me on a pictorial walk along the 'front' - wish I could have been with you. Are oysters their main source of food?
What no snow on the ground :-)
All very peaceful at the sea shore with the sharp dressed birds walkin' about.
I could almost hear the whisper of the water lapping on the shore...
ps: great excuse for a longer lens.
