Oystercatcher Spectacular Flight to Roost | British Birding

Oystercatcher gatherings can be very spectacular particularly their flight to roost in large numbers at Shellness in Kent, UK. At this location Eurasian Oystercatchers, Haematopus ostralegus, feed on the mudlflats exposed at low tide and then as the tide comes in birders can watch the oystercatcher spectacular flight to roost as they move in small groups at first, then in larger numbers to collect at their high tide roost in a flock of up to 2000 birds. In this birding video I share one of my favourite birding spectacles with others.SUBSCRIBE to Birding with Nick Upton: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC_oYlEXUwFyXCEZoaqlGQA?sub_confirmation=1Video recorded using;Canon 7D Mark II - https://amzn.to/2BaM3vmCanon EF 100-400mm f4-5-5.6L IS II Lens - https://amzn.to/2XMcbUTPanasonic Lumix FZ300 bridge camera - https://amzn.to/3e5bq0dGo Pro Hero 4 Silver - https://amzn.to/33VAcfgSound recorded using;Boya BY-MM1 Shotgun Video Microphone - https://amzn.to/2EXgck9Boya BY-M1 Lavalier Clip-on Microphone - https://amzn.to/3jIrF5OCheck out this bookShorebirds; it's old but I love this book & it is still the best.
