When the Oystercatcher is back, it is Spring.
I found this information at Wikipedia:
The
Eurasian Oystercatcher (
Haematopus ostralegus) also known as the
Common Pied Oystercatcher, or (in Europe) just
Oystercatcher, is a wader in the oystercatcher bird family Haematopodidae. It is the most widespread of the oystercatchers, with three races breeding in western Europe, central Eurasia, Kamchatka, China, and the western coast of Korea. No other oystercatcher occurs within this area.
This oystercatcher is the national bird of the Faroe Islands, where it is called
tjaldur.

Kan være en trivelig kar han Tjeld, men ikke når egg og fugleunger kommer - da er det høyst utagerene atferd mot pressefotografer og ellers.
Quite a striking bird in black and white with that bright orange beak.
Lovely capture!
Mette, you are very lucky that you saw this bird. You took a great picture!!!
I am not sure I saw even once this bird in my life.
Fabulous photograph!!! And very special bird.

I am glad you included the info along with your cool photo of the Eurasian Oystercatcher. Thanks!
He's a lovely bird! I'd love to watch him eat oysters!
Dette er vårfuglen nr. 1 på våre kanter. Når den springer rundt i fjæra, -og roper ut om kulda at
-" det bit - det bit"- slik at føttene blir røde av kulda... Flott bilde!
Happy WBW til deg!
What a wonderful capture, Mette!

Splendid bird. Used to love watching them when I lived in the UK.
