    We are getting better weather on Uist now. I managed to capture this one on the west coast of Benbecula.

    Thanks for looking

    Great angle and focus on this very cool shorebird. We have them on the west coast USA also. I assume this is what we call American Oystercatcher, but on the west coast body is brownish black and called Black Oystercatcher. Love the contrast of your bird....thanks for this one.
