I love oystercatchers......such comical birds, with amazing beaks and a wonderful cry! A nicely captured shot.

Apparently, the collective noun for a group of oystercatchers is known as a "parcel" or "stew" of oystercatchers.

Thanks for that Keith, I never knew the collective term. I’m hoping for some better photos one day. Snow and sleet here this morning but melting away in the afternoon except on hilltops
