I arrived at the estuary to find this chase in progress. The crow had found a shellfish, and the gull wanted it. The chase went on for a good 5 minutes before the gull finally broke off the pursuit.

The Buchan Caves are a group of limestone caves that include the Royal Cave and the Fairy Cave, located south-west of Buchan, in the East Gippsland region of the Australian state of Victoria. They have a total length of between 3 and 4 kilometres (1.9 and 2.5 mi), and six entrances.[2]
The Buchan Cave Reserve has been transferred back to the Gunaikurnai Nation and is jointly managed with the state.
The limestone rock at Buchan was laid down during the Devonian period about 300 – 400 million years ago. At the time, the sea covered this area of East Gippsland which was alive with shellfish and coral. Their remains were deposited in layers and over the years compacted to form limestone. The caves were formed by solution of the limestone.
For several years we were trying to reach these caves and finally in 2019 we done it!
It was our first visit to Charlottetown made even more special by attending the PEI International Shellfish Festival making its first return to a post Covid isolation world and also celebrating the festivals 25 anniversary.

Francia, Normandia, Granville, Estate 2022
Granville è una città della Normandia, nel nord-ovest della Francia. È una località balneare e termale della baia di Mont Saint-Michel, un ex porto per la pesca del merluzzo e il primo porto di molluschi della Francia. A volte è soprannominata "Monaco del Nord" in virtù della sua posizione su un promontorio roccioso. La città fu fondata da un vassallo di Guglielmo il Conquistatore su una terra occupata dai Vichinghi nell'XI secolo. Nel 19° secolo, questa località balneare fu frequentata da molti artisti. È anche la casa della famiglia di industriali Dior.
Granville is a town in Normandy, northwestern France. It is a seaside resort and health resort of Mont Saint-Michel Bay, a former cod-fishing port and the first shellfish port of France. It is sometimes nicknamed "Monaco of the North" by virtue of its location on a rocky promontory. The town was founded by a vassal of William the Conqueror on land occupied by the Vikings in the 11th century. In the 19th century, this seaside resort was frequented by many artists. It is also the home of the Dior family of industrialists.
There's nothing like fresh live seafood to boost your appetite. I wasn't expecting to see live food markets in downtown Bangkok but to my surprise there were! It is nice to switch up from local rice dishes every so often.
Continuing my series of favorite places on the central Oregon coast.
Looking south over Happy Camp Beach at this nice large bay.
Cape Lookout at the other end.
The southern portion is the Netarts Bay Shellfish Preserve.
The bay is approximately 5 by 1.5 miles (8.0 by 2.4 km) and totals 2,325 acres (9.41 km2) in area, making it Oregon's seventh largest bay.
Despite its name, as far as Im aware, Oystercatchers dont eat Oysters! Cockles and Mussels is what they seem to prefer.
This one was on the beach at RSPB Titchwell {north Norfolk, UK}.

Oystercatcher
Scientific name
Haematopus ostralegus
The loud 'peep-ing' call of an oystercatcher is a recognisable and familiar sound of the seashore. Look out for it hunting on rocky and muddy shores for shellfish to eat. It can also be spotted on some inland waterbodies where it has started to breed.
Sometimes I am bowled over by a bird's abilitiy to find food in - to me at least - the most surprising places.
Here a carrion crow took off from a muddy bank beside a shallow lake; hovered for a second; dropped ankle deep into the water; and then surfaced pulling an enormous freshwater mussel from the mud.
I sometimes struggle to distinguish between Greater and Lesser Scaup females, but I think this one is a greater. If that's not right, please be sure to let me know. In any case, she's pictured here eating mussels.
This bird has been roosting alone the last few days at Cant Clough Reservoir near Burnley which is uncharacteristic as they tend to roost with other species of Gulls. Gull roosts can number in excess of over 10,000 in some areas . It can be very hard to pick out the rarer species, thankfully this time there was no such problem.
