From the archive: In spring, this is an ideal place for oystercatchers (and watching them). From early summer, the camping guests take over – but by then, the oystercatchers are gone. Unda camping, Uddevalla, on April 2, 2011.

From the archive: The oystercatchers living by the seaside keep to themselves, and it is impossible to come close. The oystercatchers breeding in the inland is another matter; this one takes a walk in a public park. Ursand, Vänersborg, on August 1, 2006.
