    We started off back down the glen and soon found a Eurasian Oystercatcher in a field beside the road. Had to shoot between the fence wires, as I was unable to climb up the bank to be above the fence.

    Disappearing

    I used to see around 20-30 Eurasian Oystercatchers lining the causeway beside the lochan on my patch. This was the best it got this year, and I don't recall seeing any youngsters. But there could have been in areas no longer accesable for me.

    The Curlew was joined by an Oystercatcher. A bit like Picadilly Circus building up!

    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".
