Oystercatcher having Dinner

Our Granddog wanted to go the beach again today, so who were we to refuse?! Even though the southern part of Whitley Bay beach is closed to dogs over the summer months, the northern half (up to St Mary's island) does allow them - so off we went for an afternoon walk.

As always, lots of photos were taken but this oystercatcher eating a common periwinkle (at least that's what I think it is, do feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) won its place on today's blip.
