It lives upon all kinds of mollusca, and is particularly dexterous in detach- ing limpets from their native rocks with its wedge-like orange-coloured bill. The Oyster Catcher breeds generally round our coasts where suitable localities are to be found, and in Scotland on the banks of rivers and lochs, often at a considerable distance from the sea. Sometimes quite a number of pebbles and shells are collected wherewith to line the nest, and at others the eggs may be found on shingle, sand, or even... bare rock, with little or nothing in the shape of a lining to the slight hollow selected for their reception.
