Oyster catchers

The Oyster catcher is one of my favourite birds. After all the storms here on the South coast, there are thousands of slipper limpets washed up on the shore- an easy meal for these beautiful, striking creatures.

As you can see from the waves, the effects of the storms are still being felt.

Oyster catchers are usually very shy, but I was able to get quite close to them this time - I think maybe because they've eaten too much; not that I can say very much about that!
