Landing Routine of an Oystercatcher - Woodbridge Island, Cape Town

A fast and vocal African Black Oystercatcher bird coming in for landing. During a windless morning of shooting we encountered many of these two-tone birds - I've never seen so many Oystercatchers up and down the Diep River, Woodbridge Island.

All images captured by Vernon Chalmers with Canon EOS 7D Mark II / Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens (Handheld). Close to Woodbridge Island / Table Bay Nature Reserve.
