Woohoo! I finally found these birds today. There were 4 of them--and I was lucky to get good light--not much shooting time, but they were fairly tolerant of me and I got a fair number of clicks in before they flew off.
They just might be my favorite birds--

Nice triplets Bonnie

They look like they could draw you in with that deep red/orange beak. I like the environment with them and that was some fine light that you caught. All three are just great for me!

Bonnie,
Very nice captures of a beautiful little shorebird.
I really like the lighting & comps with the foreground stone that complement the (unique) bill color.
Don't think I've seen any of these over here on our side of the pond.

These are great, Bonnie - perfect exposure and some great detail. You know, I've never even seen an Oyster Catcher!

Super--I don't remember ever seeing an oystercatcher either--I think I caught Denny Crane's mad cow.

Classic Bonnie shots! Low and very well done. Congrats on these, I still haven't gotten any good ones yet. You nailed these in nice light to boot. Very nice.
