Oystercatcher

Oystercatcher
An oyster catcher captured at Ardrishaig. Argyll and Bute, Scotland. I liked the way it stood out against the wall with it's bright beak and red eyes that almost seemed to glow.

I have added a song called 'Eyes on Fire' by Blue Oyster Cult

I love this oystercatcher, Carol. You have focused perfectly on the eye. I see dozens of these birds every day. All the best, Joe

Ecobird club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
Thank you very much Joe. They are really eye catching and I love their cry.
Good feeding grounds for them up there, and we saw a lot of them in Scotland too.
When we were staying outside of Stirling the cottage owner said there has been a real decline in the numbers of bird visitors because of avian flu. By the number of these birds around it fortunately does not appear to have affected them too badly.

Best wishes Carol
