Thank you most kindly for stopping by to view my work.
If you find you have a few words to say about what I have done they will be much appreciated.
My best regards to you.... Martin
Just could not get to the back side for the lighting, and when I tried a car came by and off it flew.
Rest and relaxation time....
The oystercatcher is very noisy wading bird with a loud 'peep-ing' call. On the coast, it specialises in eating shellfish, particularly cockles and mussels, which it either prises or hammers open with its strong, flattened bill. Originally a coastal species, the oystercatcher has moved further inland over the last 50 years to breed on waterways and lakes. Most UK birds still spend their winters by the sea, however, and are joined by birds from Norway and Iceland.
There are 12 species of oystercatcher in the world, all of which look very similar, being either pied or plain black, with a red bill and pink legs. A further species of oystercatcher became extinct in the 20th century.
Thanks for viewing my photos, I really appreciate you taking the time, and for the faves and comments you make thank you.
