Ha! ha! Snap we saw that oystercatcher too Rob for a couple or three years - near the rocks where the house with the red roof is!

We came across an all white crow with dark eyes at Langcliffe, Settle a few years back but we didn't have the big cameras then.........

Same as everyone else - blackbirds with varying amounts of white over the years and unmarked gulls with dark eyes which have caused some fun if you've ever listened to folk trying to make an Iceland Gull/Med Gull out of a Black headed
