A number of Oystercatchers were feeding on the low tide and were soon spooked by a rushing dog. It is very difficult to get close to them ....they seem very nervous and aware.
Thanks for the comments. A very difficult bird to photograph well in my opinion. I like to see the eyes ..but you have to get a lot closer (or have a longer lens) than I did today.
A Market Town since 1189 and has now undergone a major regeneration program .
The new shopping and leisure centre (White River Place) opened October 2009 and employs 500 - 700 people.
Imery's modernized China Clay industry employs 2000 which is a huge drop from the early 20th Century when tin, copper and china clay found in the hills made St Austell a major Cornish industrial centre.
Another industry still alive and kicking is the St Austell Brewery which celebrated 150 years of trading in 2001.
