Oystercatcher

A visit to Stronsay. It was wetter and windier than forecast at first and I was wondering if it was a mistake to go today, but it dried quickly and the wind dropped somewhat, so a good cycle around. Got a couple new migrants- 6 common tern and two pairs of pintail, plus the usual others- bonxie, raven, shelduck, 26 shags on nests etc. Oystercatchers are common, but I like the pose of this one on the rock, and also when it hopped to the next rock -extras.
