Why did the oystercatcher go to the beach? To catch some 'shell-ter'!

Strolling along the sandy beach of Port Fairy, I encountered an oystercatcher with its striking black plumage and vivid orange beak. It stood confidently among the scattered seaweed and small shells, a testament to nature's bold palette. The sandy expanse was dotted with sparse vegetation and small rocks, creating a serene backdrop for this solitary bird. Moments like these remind me that even in the most ordinary settings, there's always something extraordinary to behold.
