European Oystercatchers

Species: Haematopus ostralegus,

 

The bird still lives up to its name, as it is one of the few wading birds that is capable of opening oysters at all. There are three races breeding in western Europe, central Eurasia, Kamchatka, China, and the Western coast of Korea. A group of oystercatchers are known as a "parcel" or "stew" of oystercatchers.
