We're not quite as formal as you and call these noisy critters Oystercatchers, or Rain Birds as we always seem to see them just before it rains, But then that might just have something to do with living in Scotland.

I did not know the English name. But this is a common bird in Norway and is called Tjeld. :-)

I'm guessing most birds are seen in Scotland "just before it rains"
