The odd one out

An unusual sight at the boat ramp today was this sooty oystercatcher with the terns. However there were gale force winds and huge seas all day, so I guess it was safer at the ramp. I also love the cheeky faces of the terns - I usually only photograph them from the back!!

Great capture, I likes the expression of the tern on the left. oystercatchers are one of my favourite birds. Fav

Lovely composition and use of the shallow depth of field, the Oystercatchers feathers giving a sense of the windy conditions a great capture Denise:)
