Oyster Catcher in the Ipswich Wet Dock

I live on the waterfront in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK and we get a good variety of sea birds around - mostly a variety of gulls and cormorants with the occasional Shelduck. Swans and Canadian Geese often fight over possession of the dock as well. However, every so often we get an influx of Oyster Catchers that feed of the Mussels in the dock. I took the following image with a Canon 700D using a Tamron 70-300. The settings were - ISO320, f5.6, 1/2000th and 300mm.

This image shows the normal 55mm view from my balcony so you can see the amount of magnification going on in the image of the Oyster Catcher.

I think you've posted the wrong shot, this is a Common Tern.

Apologies - I relied on my wife for this information! Now I look it up I can see that you are right. Thanks or the correction.
