A Pair of Black Oystercatcher Chicks. Centre Islet, where this photo was taken, has always had at least one couple of nesting Black Oystercatchers. This year there are many and the island is very noisy with the calls of the adults and the young. This pair of chicks is scrambling to safety escaping from the prying eyes of some birdwatching, boat riding visitors.
