Oystercatcher

The Oystercatcher is an European wader.

Originally, it’s a coastal species, that is still found around the coastline, but since the mid seventies of last century, the Oystercatcher has increasingly colonised inland rivers and lochs.
The first observation for these birds nesting on grassland away from the coast happened already in 1940.

Dutch name : Scholekster
German name : Austernfischer
Latin name : Haematopus ostralegus

Location : Nature reserve ‘Noordelijk Eiland’ at Wintam (Belgium)

    Frutti di mare enthusiast?:))
    Unlike Deryck, I have never seen or even heard of this lovely bird. A great capture, no doubt.

    A very good capture of this little beauty, great eye contact, fine sharp details .... and he is so much more attractive than out black species here (only to be found in Northern waters).
    greetings, Adele

    They are beautiful. We also get Oystercatchers here, but they look somewhat different
