Hello,

I have had a chance to see an oystercatcher at our local beach. They do not breed or appear too often around my place. So that was a very pleasant surprise to me when a young one decided to stay for around two weeks at our closest beach. I have visited him both in the morning, when the sun rose at the sea, and in the evening, when the sun set behind a very steep cliff.

All of the pictures were resized to 2048, exported, and resized even further to 1600px by Flickr.

I hope you will like the pictures.

Wonderful series on the Oystercatcher, Michal. Your perspective is great, and execution is also great!

You've got the skills, and a good eye for a shot. Well done!

Beautiful set Michal! Well done👍👍👍
 
By far the best set of OC's I've ever seen. Low pov, colour, detail, composition all utterly brilliant. As for the use of the shallow dof. Awesome.

Thank you for kind comments! I am very happy you like the photos :)
It was super fun to shoot the oystercatcher and I hope another one will visit us during autumn migration. Who knows what suprises will bring the new year :)
