The Eurasian Oystercatcher is a large shorebird known for its striking black and white plumage. It has a long, bright orange bill that it uses to forage for food, primarily mollusks and other invertebrates found in intertidal zones. This bird is commonly found along coastlines and estuaries across Europe and Asia. Eurasian Oystercatchers are social birds, often seen in small groups. They are known for their loud, distinctive calls and strong territorial behavior during the breeding season. Their nests are typically shallow scrapes on the ground, where they lay 2 to 4 eggs that are well-camouflaged against predators.
