There was at least two, maybe three, families of Oystercatcher with young of different age. One seemed newly hatched and another almost ad. This was on my morning walk before we left for the day.

  3. These images are great. [by the way, what is your first name?...it seems that I don't know or have forgotten...NatureFootstep is a bit impersonal when I leave a comment] Anyway...LOVE your oystercatchers.

  5. I found a nest of our Oystercatchers with two eggs right in the middle of a beach with many human visitors. With some help we got barricades placed around it but I never learned its fate.
