Oystercatchers





A family of oystercatchers,
Töölönlahti, Helsinki 1.8.2014.

Click on the photos for a bigger view.
You can see that the young bird in the first photo 
still has some baby feathers left in the neck area.

I'm linking to Wild Bird Wednesday.

    Lovely shots Gunilla. I saw quite a few at the coast today but too far away for any shots.

    These are much sharper Oystercatchers. They have such fine features like that bill. They are a favorite of mine as I don't always get to see them!

    Great oystercatcher shots! I think they are a relatively rare bird, and yet I have become acquainted with them here on the blogs. Glad to see your photos!
