Oyster catchers , resting quietly in the afternoon sun on this unused jetty there were so many

Taken at Horeke Tavern Northland

What a great find and shot! I have never ever seen so many on one spot. They must have been waiting for something.

[Babs]

Good heavens, I wonder if they are having a party or are on a protest.

[tony gig]

Great shot.

Stunning - - is it a protest march !!!
