Oyster catchers, methinks

There's a really good bird identifier table in Mot between the saltwater baths and the golf course (about where the wreck in the harbour is)
I was about to guess Oyster Catchers but am not totally sure...
ReplyDeleteWhatever they are it's a beautiful photo.

Sorry, I don't have a clue either. I like the blurry water in the foreground and the beautiful cloud cover overhead. Nice shot Ben.
ReplyDeleteI think they are terns - they have one of the longest migrations of any bird - up to 14,000 miles.
