Still Sooty Still Searching









I'm the expert searching rock platforms, and Jack has the same coloured bill as I!

Sooty Oystercatcher really was the expert. If he can crack oyster shells the way he does, he can crack any case – like that of a missing parrot ;)

What a pretty little bird.


Although I think he might be in disguise. That beak is a dye job; as can be evidenced by his non-matching legs.

You got some pretty neat birds down under. And you shoot 'em well! ;)
Cheers, Klaus

Hhehee, I'd watch what you're saying G3TFilms, he's not that 'little' being an average size of 50cm! I've always thought red clashes with pink ... ;)

Thanks Klaus, he's our only all black shorebird (ignoring colour of bill, eyes and legs) :)

On New Zealand shores ElizT? I hope there hasn't been an oil spillage :O

The colors here are so rich - the blue of the left behind water, the green on the rocks, not to mention the matching orange of the Scooty's eyes and bill.

Ohhh thankyou Annie, it is Mother Nature who is rich! :)

EWWWWW, an Oystercatcher's bill on the mantelpiece Simon!?! I haven't given him permission to charge for his services, so it would be illegal if a bill arrived. Hhheee ;)

HAAHAA, this Sooty is exhibiting the Halloween Range, Melissa. At the same time, we're afraid of strutting in the dark because that's when the SEAMONSTERS show ;)
