I was leaving my local beach at Berwick upon Tweed and notices this small flock of oystercatchers near the tide line. I crept up to them on my hands and knees to get this image.

Wonderful grouping. How long did it take you to organize the Oystercatchers so that there were two on both the left and the right!!! Wonderful composition and interesting perspective.
