Oystercatchers and friends
That first trip to Kinnordy with the new camera was quite memorable for birds too. Apart from the Garganey, Little Ringed Plover, Common Snipe and Jack Snipe were at the reserve. I think I've got them all in this image!! At the front is a Teal, then the Oystercatchers, but behind, right below...- delia todd

Black and white flyers
There were loads of birds sitting on the bog bean and suddenly they all lifted. I couldn't see what set them off, but took a general picture in the hopes I might see something on download. But no. Not the greatest of pictures in the poor light that day, but I rather liked the action and the...- delia todd

All black and white...
... with a touch of yellow. Anyone who knows me, will realise I was in heaven that day (black and white birds are my favourites)!! Taken on my last visit to Kinnordy.- delia todd

I'm bigger 'n you!
After lunch, we set off south down the peninsula - hardly any traffic on this road really and there in front of us were these two! Quality not the best, as it was taken through the car windscreen.- delia todd

Foraging 101
Much of the action on today's hike was adults teaching juvies how to forage. In the case of gulls, the lesson seemed to consist of ignoring the juvies' plaintive cries. In the case of the oystercatchers the lessons were more attentive. This one has been showing the juvie where to find mussels...- Doc Duck

One ran east, one ran west, two ran up to a 2-chick nest
One of the chicks headed off-stage right staying at the base of the outcropping. The other three headed upwards into the craggy bits, two of them close together and one off to the left a bit. These are the three in the "how many" shot, but some knobby bits of the rocks - one at the...- Doc Duck

How many oystercatcher chicks can you find?
I had a cropped version of this picture ready, but when I took a closer look at the original I found more chicks hiding. How many can you find? And how sure are you that what you've found are actually chicks? Their plumage coloring and patterning is a near-perfect match for the sand and rocks on...- Doc Duck

Oystercatcher catching worms
This oystercatcher was catching worms in a park between the highway, hospital and campus - right downtown. Not a place I'm accustomed to seeing oystercatchers. Also, I thought oystercatchers' legs were a bit brighter pink. Based on childhood chickenfarming knowledge - could the pale legs...- Doc Duck
