Pied Oystercatchers at Sunset by byronbackyard
A pair of Pied Oystercatchers catch the last sunset rays on Tallow Beach in Byron Bay. The Pied Oystercatcher is shy of humans and seldom allows close approach.

Many thanks, I go to that beach a lot and it was the only afternoon that the light was just beyond perfect …. must have been some amazing timing in the universe.
