Australian Pied Oystercatcher

This little guy stood out amongst the crowd. I had never noticed one of these before. I believe that a Pied Oystercatcher is normally shy and seldom allows anyone to get up close, so i was very excited about capturing this image, before he flew off.

Great close up - rally clear and detailed.
Colours of the eye and beak really stand out - looks great on a blackbackground
