Oyster catchers are shore birds, never seen them on a roof ......... they have a shrill piping sound as they fly low along the sand.  Oh to live by the sea  :'(

As the crow flies we are about a mile from the coast, does that count?

They are often further inland in the summer. They are lovely looking birds. I love watching them on the shoreline down in Wooly just as it is getting light http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/taxa/Eurasian_Oystercatcher

Ooh err it's gulls then!!!! Sorry.  Neighbour told me it was oyster catchers.  Maybe there are the odd ones.  I never bother getting up to look to be honest.  Neighbour is always watching birdies & has heaps of feeding boxes etc out for them.  They have a huge back garden with lots of bushes.

It isn't usual for oyster catchers to perch ;-)

I've found 4 yellow crocii in our garden 10 mins ago :-)))

Well whatever birds they are which congregate near my house, woke me at 6 this morning.  Not funny when you've seen every hour, only dozing for short periods in between!

What do they sound like? I lay awake waiting for the first bird to start and then I know I can get up as it's morning, officially, so it doesn't seem so bad!

It's Japanese poetry of 17 syllables in just three lines. Usually 5 syllables in the first & 3rd lines, 7 in the middle one.
Sort of like this...
