We monitor the Pied Oystercatchers breeding along a 23km stretch of beach each year and it can all be covered on foot or by bicycle-tide dependant! With the data we have collected over the years we are hoping to address the predation of eggs by feral cats in the Broome area.

We are into the second attempt at breeding for this season in Broome for Pied Oystercatchers. Sadly a lot of eggs are lost to feral cats and chicks are sometimes taken by birds of prey.

The first, Field Guide to the Birds of Trinidad & Tobago, was published by Christopher Helm in London in 2007 and then published in the United States in 2008 by Yale University Press. Even during the breeding season the birds appear to be quite unwary of humans. There are two editions of the Kenefick book, the field guide.
