In 2010 they also laid two clutches of two eggs and the second clutch did hatch, but the chicks were then predated. Here are some of the experiences of the Pied Oystercatcher chick on Cable Beach in the last 4 weeks.

Tawny Frogmouths are actually more closely related to the Nightjar family. We have only encountered a Tawny Frogmouth nest once before and that was at the Broome Poo Ponds in January 2010.
