This is an Oystercatcher. The name would imply they are found near the water and not inland. I live in Central Scotland nowhere near the coast but we have plenty Oystercatchers here. I remember talking to another walker and he commented on this fact too! I love seeing them and really must get more photos.
That beautiful bird mainly looks for cockles and mussels.
