On July 1st 2007 an egg was laid by a Pied Oystercatcher that was known to be an adult in 2002 and had been banded in nearby Roebuck Bay. They fed well in that area and by 18th September 2007 the young Pied Oystercatcher had learnt to fly. A second egg was laid the following day and the two eggs hatched at the end of the month.
