these birds are always so funny to watch as they dodge the waves, i like how they are always in pairs,

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent shot

Splash! Love the expressions!

[Chris K]

I love their red beaks and the splash of the waves

[sally agnew]

Cool shot, they are certainly having an in-depth conversation as they stroll the waters edge :)

[Dione Giorgio]

The red eyes and beaks really stand out in this shot. Beautiful.

I like how the red of the beaks and feet stand out against the blacks and grays.

[Lisa Poland]

Very cool birds! Love the red around the eyes!

[Katrin]

What a nice couple! Love the drops and the red against the monochrome,

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Run! Run! It's going to engulf us! Love how the red of their beaks, legs and eyes pops against the gray water and stone.

Wow! African Black Oystercatchers, never seen them before, wonderful capture!

[Yao RL]

@kerosene @photographycrazy Thanks Caroline, they are oystercatchers, I am not sure the difference between African and New Zealand black Oystercatchers.

@photographycrazy @yaorenliu oh that's wonderful, thank you for the info, I looked them up. Apparently they can be found on several shorelines: South Africa, New Zealand, and apparently on the Pacific Coast in the US!
