  3. Flotte bilder. Tjelden har søte unger. De er brune før de får sin "voksne" farge!
    Ha en fin dag!

  5. Hej!
    Ja, de är verkligen speciella strandskatorna. Tänk så länge det dröjer innan de kommer igen... snyft.
    Fina bilder.
    ha en fin kväll

  6. Just a shade different than our American oystercatchers but oh so similar.

    Thanks for linking up at the Bird D'Pot this weekend. AND...yes, I did redo the template and header on the meme's page. Thanks for noticing.
