More LBD shots










These are the last of the photo`s of the Long-billed Dowitcher from Sunday. The bottom one gives a rough idea of the size of the bird when compared to the Oystercatcher behind.

A top bird which gave the assembled crowd a good show!

  2. ....but we need to know how big an Oystercatcher is to make a usefull comparison
    By the way, LBD is a lot easier to say than Long-billed Dowitcher which sounds totally made up!

  6. Hi Bazza,
    An Oystercatcher is a bit bigger than a Coot, obviously with longer legs! Hope this helps!?
    It is a bit of an odd name, there is a Short-billed Dowitcher aswell!

  7. Hi Grace,
    Thankyou. I hope the different poses show the bird off a bit, it was better `in the flesh` so to speak. This poor little bird was being pushed around a bit by others, but seemed to hold its own!

  12. Thanks Susan,
    It`s a shame that the bird is looking away from me, but that`s life I suppose!
