   • Geez! I copied and pasted your writing and made it a comment!
     I don’t realize what I have done! My apology…

     I want to say that this picture is amazing with the speed of that bird flying.
     …but I was surprised and at the same time wondered, why did I already comment here?

   What a wonderful picture of the Weymouth Oyster Catcher in flight. I do have to say however, I had never heard or seen this bird previously so I also got to learn something today!

   • Thanks Doc, yes Oystercatchers are common in New Zealand. They go in groups and make a pip pip sound and are rather nervous birds.

     • Then your capture is all the more impressive. 🙂 Nervous birds leap to flight, and try to get away from humans!
