Oyster Catchers at Rutherford Bridge

It was time for a picnic. I drove to Rutherford Bridge just upstream from Brignall and parked above the Bridge in a small layby. After I took some photos of the nice bridge and its beautiful surroundings, I went down towards the river, sat on a stone and had my picnic. The scene in front of me was really nice when I suddenly noticed two oystercatchers in the meadow. I rushed back to the car to get my camera. By the time I was back they were no longer there but than I found them sitting on two fence posts next to each other. So I managed to get some good shots. I could afford to take a risk and approach them until they gave chase. See the last three photos.
