Nice afternoon and lovely weather at Cresswell watching the foraging oystercatchers, they always seem to me to have the look of the dodgy penguin “Feathers McGraw “ in Wallace & Gromit , unless it’s my dodgy watercolours! Have a great weekend all 👍

Emily Roberts observed this variable oystercatchers (tōrea-pango) with an identifying leg band. Turns out, this beauty was banded in 1982 at Somes Island, Wellington. This makes our feathered friend at least 37 years old - lookin' good for an old bird!

Since I'm saving up for a good scope, It's good to practice watching videos online and do "field sketching" that way to keep in shape! Couple of Oystercatchers as requested!

Oystercatchers are spectacular pied with orange bills, that feed on their namesake, and other molluscs. In India, they visit beaches and mudflats along the coasts in winter months.
