Conspicuous with its black and white colouration and bright orange bill you can't miss the Oystercatcher, and if you did, their call will make sure you pay attention to it. I find them to be great characters to observe. They're seem to be up to something all the time.
Not quite so noisy and a little duller in appearance, is the Redshank. Still, a beautiful bird and one I enjoy watching whenever I come across one. They too have a distinctive call and usually heard as they zip past you to find a new feeding spot.
Gorgeous captures especially love the ones with the reflections.
ReplyDeleteI could happily put up with noisy neighbours like this. Stunning photos #AnimalTales

ReplyDeleteAh - 2 waders I can recognise. Oystercatchers are wonderful and I love the contrast of their range beak and black and white plumage. #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived near the ocean, but I could get down to the Niagara River and Lake Erie... I should really...Love the birdy shots...Michelle

ReplyDeletethe redshanks beak reminds me of the oyster catchers we used to see in the western cape
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these terrific images of the Oystercatcher and Redshanks. The coast is really busy with birds this time of year and I hope to be there soon!
ReplyDeletePerhaps better to see it than to hear it?
