© NF Photo 140602, Vik i Myrdal, Iceland
With the sighting of Oystercatchers in Queensland too I have now seen this species in 5 or 6 countries from Iceland down to Queensland. But I am still happy when I see it. :)
Iceland, Scotland, Sweden, Morocco, Australia and maybe, Camargue in France (but that I have to check out)

Good to know the name of this bird! I had been seeing it elsewhere and know that it's a Oystercatcher.....but Eurasion is helpful:)
