Three Oystercatcher birds in flight from right to left against a clear blue sky.

This image of 3 Oystercatchers in flight reminds me of the porcelain ducks people once had flying across their walls. The plaintive cry of these epitomises the sound of the shore.
Two American Oystercatcher near the crashing waves on the beach. One is laying down, the other is spying on me. :)

This oystercatcher flew right past me near Lymington, always nice to see them moving through like this.

Misty rain falls on two black and dark brown birds with long neon red beaks. One stands closer to the camera than the other and both are facing towards each other. The one in front snags a small snail in its long beak. The one in the background opens its mouth as it shrieks.
"Hey! That's not an oyster!" - said the oyster catcher in the background

A picture of boulders and rocks in the North Sea when the tide is out. There are a variety of different size boulders and rocks strewn around the frame, and they are more densely packed together in the bottom half of the frame. There are a variety of rock types like granite, sand, and volcanic, and some are covered in seaweed and molluscs with pools of seawater and seaweed scattered around them. The top half of the frame is mostly sea water with smaller rocks scattered around and partially submerged under the seawater, which is a dead dalm and has a silvery mirror finish to it.

Photo of a Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) standing on a patch of ground with very short vegetation, and holding a long Earthworm in the tip of his or her beak. The bird is facing towards the left side of the picture. The Oystercatcher is a wading bird, which has black upperparts (including the head, neck, and the upper part of the chest), white underparts, a long orange beak, and pink legs and feet. The eye is red, with an orange rim and a black pupil.
This #Oystercatcher, though not an early bird, still managed to get the worm. A great image with which to start a #NaturePhotography thread featuring pics from my visit to @wildlifebcn.org Summer Leys reserve on Saturday.

A black and white oystercatcher at lower left walks through shallow water away from a great white egret, which is standing still and tall in upper right against a sandy beach. There is a pebbled portion of the beach at low tide jutting out between them. The photo was taken in an inlet to the Allen’s Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Dartmouth MA
Looking forward to warmer weather, here’s an #oystercatcher deciding to go its separate way from a great white #egret in a shallow inlet in Massachusetts. #MixedPairs #BirdOfTheDay #birds #birdphotography #nature #EastCoastKin 🪶
Een scholekster loopt op een strandje. De poten zijn gekruist. De vogel kijkt recht voor zich uit. Op de achtergrond water van de vijver.
Een scholekster neemt een bad in een vijver. Het water beweegt om de vogel heen, het lijkt wel een waterballet. Op de achtergrond kringen in het water door de bewegingen van de scholekster.
Een scholekster komt net weer boven water na een kleine duik voor een verfrissend ochtendbad. Het water spat iets op. De vogel kijkt naar links.
Een scholekster loopt door het water. De andere scholekster heeft de snavel in het water, waarschijnlijk op zoek naar een lekker ontbijtje.
De scholeksters hebben hun weg weer gevonden naar de vijver. Ze hebben het prima naar hun zin en laten duidelijk horen dat ze weer present zijn. Prachtige vogels!

Soon the oystercatchers will return. These beach nesting birds like several other species usually face conflicts with humans during the summer. As a result, numbers have declined. As we approach warmer seasons please remember to share the shore. #sharetheshore #bird #oystercatcher #wildlife #nature
Just noticed that there was an #OysterCatcher amongst the #Lapwing at Venus Pool the other day. #Birds

A striking, low-profile photograph of a single Oystercatcher bird, standing in right-facing profile on a pebbled and sandy beach. The bird is illuminated by warm, dramatic golden-hour sunlight (sunrise or sunset), which makes its stark white underparts glow with a warm hue and casts light on the foreground textures. Its plumage is primarily deep black on the head, neck, and back, contrasting with the pure white of its breast and belly. A long, straight, vibrant orange-red bill is prominent. Its orange legs are also visible, one with a small, barely distinct metal band.
This Oystercatcher managed to find the only narrow slit of sun already hitting the beach in the early morning :)
