Almost missed them!

I was standing sheltering from a passing rain shower yesterday when I noticed this group of Oyster Catchers seemingly doing the same thing. They were able to bury their heads though - I wasn't! I had a tree though - they didn't! :-)

they are quite lovely - that open mouth on the front one!

A lovely capture of these birds and colours of the stones. I was also marvelling at the little stack of balancing pebbles on the right hand side of the photo. Fav!

[Casablanca]

Wow, never saw that many together at once!

[Wylie]

I guess they don't mind getting wet, as they are water birds! I've not seen so many together either.

[Denise Wood]

Wonderful capture :) And I've never seen more than two together here. fav

Lovely nature capture.

[Valerie Chesney]

Delightful to see so many together.

[Pigeons Farm]

This is beautifully captured

[Babs]

Wow what a gang. The one in the middle with his mouth open looks as though he is saying 'Simon says stand on one leg'

[Bep]

Well captured!

[Julie Duncan]

Beautiful composition!

[Caroline]

What a lovely bunch! And, well captured.

[Kathy]

A nice clear view of these birds. Well done.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

How lovely

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Love those red-orange beaks; they contrast so smartly again the black and white of their feathers.

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely capture!

[Pat Knowles]

The sort of Coco Chanel of the bird world...very stylish birds!

[Jennie B.]

Nice capture

[Islandgirl]

Wow great find!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great catch- fascinated with the ones that are balancing on one leg!
