Variable Oystercatcher - New Zealand
D300, 500mm + 1.4x, ISO 800, f/8, 1/160s
Loved these guys in NZ, many have some patchy white on them giving the the name Variable Oystercatcher but this one was all black...

Please click on the image, the preview compression loses a lot of black detail.

Nice detail in the blacks when viewed large, and the food item on the bill adds a lot to the image.

The foreground, prey and pose are excellent.
Very pleasing BG to go with.
They have much cleaner eyes than Black Oystercatchers.
Blacks are exposed very well.
