I was out for a walk on the Dunedin causeway in late February.

It was clear and cool when I first started walking but the clouds started to move in.

When I got back to my car I pulled my camera out to get some shots of the shorebirds along the rocky side of the causeway.  The same ole bird where there including the sanderling and ruddy turnstones with those bright orange legs.

I noticed an oystercatcher couple a little farther down the causeway. They were spread out and were busy feeding.

They were pulling up something gunky. Shrimp? Sand fleas? Slugs?

I watched them for a while and they started making their way down the causeway.

A little blue heron was creeping along the water.
