Sooty Oystercatcher Haematopus fuliginosus
Another Pirates Bay photo, this one on a stormy and rainy
day. The oystercatchers will watch you very carefully as you walk along a
beach, calling angrily as you close, then fly around you back to the beach,
rather like the Hooded Plover does. I think for once I tracked this one
perfectly in flight. Birds-in-flight are even harder than
birds-avoiding-humans. Like the Hooded Plover, they maintain a nest on or near
the beach among rocks, seaweed and the like, and their angry calls are warnings
to stay away.
