Pied Oystercatcher : Haematopus longirostris
Moreton Bay, Queensland


  • This pied beauty is not in the remotest way interested in oysters!
  • Actually, it's a bivalve mollusc-catcher that frequents tidal sandflats: look carefully (next to right foot) and you'll see the discarded shell of one that lost its occupant a few moments before.
