Seabird Medley

From top clockwise - Tākapu (Australasian Gannet), Tarāpunga (Red-billed Gull), Tara Iti (Fairy Tern), Tūturiwhatu (New Zealand Dotterel), Tōrea pango (Variable Oystercatcher). These are all shorebird species seen on beaches from my part of the country.

Can't remember when I did this, probably Nov 2018. Can't remember what I called it either. I painted them on little craft canvases and then glued them together with popsicle sticks

African Black Oystercatcher, hunting the perilous shore for limpets and mussels. Oysters rarely enter their diet. The best time to hunt is when waves are against the shore, and shellfish open up. When the tide is out, shells lock shut, and when the tide is in, the prey is underwater.

As an oystercatcher, you have to scout and work hard to get food. And then the cheeky seagulls are lurking everywhere.

I took a trip to the Baltic Sea today - more pictures to follow.
