Summer Evening Oystercatcher Bird On Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone By Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short sunny Summer evening 4K wildlife camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of an Oystercatcher bird on a visit and trip to my cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The oystercatcher is a large, stocky, black and white wading bird. It has a long, orange red bill and reddish pink legs. In flight, it shows a wide white wing stripe, a black tail, and a white rump that extends as a V between the wings. A common wader, the oystercatcher is very noisy with a loud peep-ing call. Originally a coastal species, oystercatchers have moved further inland. There are twelve species of oystercatcher in the world, all of which look very similar, being either black and white or plain black, with a red bill and pinky legs. One further species of oystercatcher became extinct in the 20th century and some of those still surviving are now endangered or threatened.
