I thought maybe those of you interested in birds may find this of interest :)
The Variable Oystercatcher (Haematopus unicolor, torea or toreapango)is found only in New Zealand.
It is also known as the Black Oystercatcher, measures 48 centimetres and weighs 725 grams.
Once in serious decline, they are now protected. They live for up to 27 years. Taken with Canon 450D.
