Oystercatcher egg

For the 17th year in a row, and possibly longer, our oyster catchers have decided to build their "nest" (if you can call their shallow scrape a nest!) in the pond garden. This year they have chosen a site on the island, which is marginally more sensible than the woodchip-strewn steps up the hillock. So far there is only the one egg; most years they produce three eventually.
