Mussel-Pecker

Whilst I was birding the coast around Nairn last week I spoke to a wonderful Scottish lady who told me about the Mussel-Peckers. Initially I struggled to understand as she had a really broad Scottish accent, but eventually I worked out that she had said Mussel-Peckers. Shortly afterwards the penny dropped and I realised she was talking about Oystercatchers. 

Mussel-Pecker was a new name to me and it put a smile on my face as I realised that I would be using this name regularly now.
