Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
The birth flower for 29 April is the Oystercatcher.
In the language of flowers, it means "good luck is sure to come, good fortune, eloquence, happiness is yours, gifts, Message, elegance".
May good luck be with you.

Living in Derbyshire, I don't get to see many of these beautiful birds but a trip to Northumbria gave me chance to sketch a few for painting. Love their beady red eyes. Oil on canvas board.

On a visit to Wharfedale this week, the oystercatchers are already back on their breeding grounds; they’re ground-nesting birds so very vulnerable; look out for them and keep dogs on leads if you’re out walking, thanks

Eurasian Oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) are characteristic birds of the coasts around Europe and are mainly migratory species. In winter the birds can be found in North Africa and southern parts of Europe.

I did some wee watercolour illustrations of oystercatchers, which are now available on products over on my (oft forgotten) Redbubble store: https://t.co/jbMwjAC4d4

Smaugust 2021 - Oystercatcher

A favourite seabird of mine, they adorably poke about in mud and sand and run away from encroaching waves.
