The Oystercatcher is a striking shorebird known for its long, bright orange bill and contrasting black and white plumage. These birds are often found along coastlines and estuaries, where they forage for food like clams and oysters. Their strong bills are perfectly adapted for prying open shellfish, making them skilled hunters in their marine habitats. Oystercatchers are social birds, often seen in small groups, and they communicate with a variety of loud calls. They typically nest on sandy beaches or rocky shores, where they lay their eggs in shallow scrapes. Their unique appearance and behavior make them a favorite among birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike.
