Winter Waders.

An hours walk along East Mersea beach with my springer spaniel today produced these few waders. Although the sun was bright it was extremely cold. And the kettle was soon boiling once i returned home.

Catching the Mussel picker.

Present around Mersea island, which is famous for its oysters, but strangely enough the oyster is not part of Oyster catchers diet,the bright orange bill which is strong and works like pliers and prizes the mussels off the rocks and opens shells of cockles to remove the food without any trouble.

ogle at the Oystercatchers.

The Oystercatcher's where resting, as the tide rouse around them.
