Black Oystercatcher - Crescent Beach, BC

A well won prize found and sushi-ed. I quick probe in the sand and gravel and the clam is found. The beak is pushed into the smallest of gaps like a shucking knife. A twist and a turn to let loose the reward for some underground surgery and Viola.......Lunch!. There is no break however as the bivalves are only accessible like this once, maybe twice a day.
