          WOO!

          I'm extremely jealous, overwhelmed and annoyed! Why is it when I get anywhere near an Oystercatcher they disappear, I think they hear me coming even when I'm out of sight!

          Oystercatchers are my favourite sea birds. :wub2: Your picture is absolutely wonderful and I want to beg, steal or borrow it please! :)

                  I'm sure that some of you knowledgable people will identify these for me.

                  Sorry they're not too good but I wanted to take the photos quickly before I scared them away.
