Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) with chick, Grampian Mountains, Scotland
Interestingly, oystercatchers in Scotland breed throughout the country, not just along the coast as elsewhere in the UK, where their loud piping calls are a common sound along the shore. They are a widespread breeding species in Eurasia with a range stretching as far as the North Pacific coast.
