Eurasian Oystercatcher, waves

Eurasian Oystercatcher is a Near Threatened species (IUCN Red List)

It’s anthropomorphic to phrase it this way, but this Eurasian Oystercatcher seemed to be contemplating the waves. But no, it wasn’t being philosophical…this was just a pause before the behaviour shown in the next image

It is the case that the waves at this spot extend far to the west, as this is at the western end of the Reykjanes Peninsula in the region of Suðurnes, southwestern Iceland. The precise location was the Garðskagi lighthouse near the town of Garður.
