Fielding at silly mid -on!

We've just had about 70mm (4") in the past 24 hours. I had a little laugh when I saw this oystercatcher on the flooded cricket pitch!

[Poppo Livy]

More like Silly Point Denise. LOL

[Jane Armstrong]

This made me smile! Well captured.

[Denise Wood]

@terryliv Thanks! I need to freshen up on my cricket fielding positions :)

[Maggiemae]

I love that comment - makes no sense! In cricket that is! Neat photo!

[Wylie]

the weather has to be good for someone - this time oyster catchers!

[Lou Ann]

Oh how wonderful to have rain.

[Gosia]

Sweet

[Peter Dulis]

Nice capture ...

[Anne ❀]

Cool!

[Esther Rosenberg]

Nice capture

[Issi Bannerman]

Out for a paddle! Nice capture of the flooded pitch.

[Merrelyn]

He looks a little lost :)

[Lin]

Nicely captured!

[Steve Jacob]

He's not going to find much food there unless he fancies a worm or two

[gloria jones]

Nice capture :)

[Diana]

Great find and shot, albeit a bit out of place.

[Sally Ings]

That's some mean rain. Strange place to see an oystercatcher.

[carol white]

Great weather for birds

[Rob Z]

Great to see some rain. He seems a bit confused!

[Peter]

I'm not sure if its a wading bird but its makes a wonderful subject in the shot, great image Denise

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of the funny subject.
For the bird this is an extra. The ground insects drown in it and get into the water.

[wendy frost]

Great capture and bird.

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great catch. I think he lost his way to the beach. No oysters there for sure.

[John]

Seems he’s found a new space in which to hunt for food!
