    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Default Are these Oystercatchers

    I think I have identified this flock of birds okay but I would like a second opinion if anyone could help, are these Oystercatchers. I tok this pic from the pier at Bangor, North Wales and now and then I saw this flock of birds flying by.
