Oystercatchers are common here in Scotland as well. It must be our proximity to coastal habitat here.

They are summer breeders in the Dales and Pennines. A common and always welcome sight (and sound) in Wharfedale, Airedale and Brontë country ( and our kitchen ;-) )

We saw this in a furniture shop not long after we moved here three years ago and both loved it. It is I guess about 40 inches x 25 inches

Lovely. An Oystercatcher would be a good bird to try as a lino print

Just had a pair of Great Tits literally rolling around on the floor locked together in a fight like a pair of scrapping teenagers! They even rolled through a pool of water at one point. I see them chase one another off often enough but I've never seen that before.

Scrapping for the chance of a session with your local dunnock ;-)

DT, that's a cracking oystercatcher print - I love it!

Whenever I see the great spotted woodpecker in our garden I think it would do well represented in the style of 1920s Soviet propaganda art, like this:

Either that DT or one had just called the other a total Dunnock! 😂

I almost stepped on a dunnock on my lunchtime walk. It skipped into the hedge as I passed as if to say 'watch where you're going!'

Also long tailed tits and blue tits high up in tree branches and a lovely great tit that sang his wee heart out from a branch very close by.
