    The end of April we decided to try the Balintore road again, this time from the southern end up to the blockage. We stopped for a peaceful lunch break in a layby looking over a field with some sheep. There were some Eurasian Oystercatchers pecking their way around, but this one decided on a...

    We came down from off the foggy ski slopes and decided on taking the 'long road' home; turning off at Cray towards Forter. As we climbed up the hill there we found a couple of Eurasian Oystercatchers on fence posts. Another passing car pushed them into the air but they landed on the other side...

    Eurasian Oystercatchers Piping Display

    In April 2022 I have often seen groups of Eurasian Oystercatchers on the North Frisian Island Amrum with a behavior as if they were "arguing".

    Oystercatcher and neighbor

    I probably should have uploaded this one under mammals, but there IS a bird in there ;) Also, the otter was "stealing" a fish that the fisherman (whom we met on shore) actually put out there for the White-tailed Eagles.
