Original - Sooty Oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus), Bruny Island, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
The photo shows the typical habitat of a Sooty Oystercatcher (contrasting in particular with the pied oystercatcher, which spends more time on beaches). A fairly difficult bird to expose for (being black, with a beak that can easily clip).
