No match
The African Black Oystercatcher is a resident breeder on the rocky coasts and islands of southern Africa. Sadly, there are currently less than 9,000 adult birds of this species, so it is highly endangered. However, it is easy to spot along the coasts of South Africa.

Great shot. I really hope, we keep voting for some of the more interesting shots and not just great wallpaper pics. Really guys, this website is better than that. Leon_J you're dominating the line up these days. Keep voting the interesting shots everyone, enjoying it.

Finally some animal picture that has the quality to be set as wallpaper. Excellent managed image composition (golden ratio) and fine details. Colours and depth of field are well-considered. After all we always have the choice - take it or leave it. And I'll take it. :-)

Nice picture, definitely not the usual wallpaper in the Loupe but it is a very interesting shot nonetheless.

Ok, so great picture, not so great desktop. I'm sorry. However, it was voted in so I guess it's just my personal preference. Art is not objective :)
