An extra serving of "carrots!" I always think of carrots when I'm with oystercatchers. This pair would often engage in chase and were also very vocal about it. I was pleased to get both in focus. Despite the oystercatchers being virtually monomorphic, in general there are a few characteristics to determine gender with AMOYs: females are larger, longer bill size, and there are black flecs in the iris... Looks like the female is the bottom bird!
