Nice action shot with food item in the beak, Bill. I hope the strap was not attached to the legs.

This image — the young Oystercatcher with human debris around its leg — makes a bold statement about the environment and how it threatens birds and wildlife. Nicely done, Bill.

A very poignant image Bill, wildlife and the dangers of human debris. Excellent shot.
