A cool, calm day, overcast, and flatish. There was no one else on the water. Virtually nobody. So, bored, I entered a small rock garden to play. Rounding one rock I looked up and what should I see not ten feet away but a pair of black oystercatchers working the wrack. I was sure I had flushed them I was so close. But they stayed, more interested in limpets than me. What a treat to see such a majestic bird go about its business. Must have sat there for ten minutes just watching. Photo from the aquarium (their captive kin).
