Today I will show you a family of Oystercatchers at the beach.
Say, what's up doc?, have you never seen two enemies dining together?
Nope, I answered and you guys must have a truce.
For some reason I can no longer just sit in a comfortable chair and to read a book at my leisure. I get that guilty feeling that I should be out there helping others instead of idly sitting around.
So our intended lazy Sunday that I mentioned in the previous post, went out of the window and we went down for a stroll on the beach.
This is our way of relaxing.
The African Oystercatcher (Haematopus moquini) at the left and a Kelp Gull (Larus dominicanus) at the right.

Here was the rest of the family scouting the sand for some Sunday picnic treats.
Until another gull came in to spoil their picnic.
So, as the uninvited guest landed, the front two oystercatchers took off.
And here they circled above to disappear from sight.
This is our playground as very few people come here to the "tough" part of the beach.
There are great and very popular beaches at both ends of this rocky patch, but we love it here and we found our Nautilus shells here in the rocks at low tides. Boats give this area a wide berth, as those razor sharp rocks stretch deep into the sea, but the rock ponds are filled with sea life and we have many adventures here.
It takes one's mind off the pressures in life as one continuously stays amazed at the works of our Creator.
And That's All Friends.
