Sth Island Pied Oystercatcher
Pooba has pointed out that this bird is given several names in several places - I'm not sure which one is commonly accepted or which one is correct! But here they all are:
Haematopus ostralegus finschi
Or
Haematopus ostralegus/Haematopus finschi
Studio portrait - which is what you get when there's only time to jump out of the car push the button and jump back in!
Didn't have time today to watch the birds for an action shot which is what I much prefer, and where the action was the light was all wrong - too many dark shadows on the birds.
This bird was standing alone and looked like it was posing so it had to be my shot for the day.
