stuny Posted May 13, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) These birds are called oyster catchers. Have you ever seen an oyster running away? Snails can catch them. This is on Sea Lion Island in the Falklands. Have a look at our site to see many more photos from our visit earlier this year to the Falkland islands and northern Chile.
