This bird is quite striking with its red beak and eyes and pink feet on this very black body. the Black Oystercatcher is on the endangered list with a mere 5000 pairs remaining. Amazingly this bird can live up to 35 years old and they only start breeding at three years of age.

Many animals are in danger of extinsion.. A shame since i consider the level of respect for nature the only real graduation for human kind in general.
