Late afternoon, two oystercatchers were on East Marsh at Dorney Wetlands. They spent a long time bathing. Then they might have mated (I was looking through the camera so I'm not sure). The male looked as though he wasn't sure either, and later tried again - only to be rebuffed.
They seemed quite relaxed. They went walkabout, and then one settled down on the gravel while the other one continued to feed. They flew off south-west when some people walked along the north bank.
I picked Greger up from his walk at Dorney Lake and we called in at the Pineapple. But sitting in the garden with a beer didn't seem such a good idea, since by then it was quite windy and cold!
