OYSTER-CATCHER AND CURLEW

The oyster-catcher is one of our most beautiful shore birds with its striking plumage of black and white simply divided into clear-cut masses—it is an excellent subject to draw.

When drawing birds at rest, balanced on one foot, note how the supporting leg leans slightly inward to preserve the balance of the bird.

The birds in the sketch are resting, waiting for the tide to fall, when they will wander over the ooze and rocks in search of cockles and worms.

The top left hand bird is a curlew. Its long curved bill may vary in length from four to seven inches. It takes its name from its peculiar wild cry—familiar on shore and estuary.
