This is a poor photo I took of this pair’s nest back in 2009. We are all watching intently as these two beautiful raptors attempt another successful breeding season without further disturbance. The new nest is still but a ghost of what the old nest looked like.

We are into the second attempt at breeding for this season in Broome for Pied Oystercatchers. The first eggs are laid during the first week of July each year and if these eggs fail to hatch or the chicks are lost they will lay further eggs within a few weeks. Nest site with 3 eggs-one white!

Today, we know a little more, such as the fact that an eagle couple produces one egg every two years, but numbers remain low, too low. And, he tells us about the time he was attacked by a parent Philippine Eagle as he handled an egg at the nest, hundreds of feet above the ground. This film could not be made without them.

July, as all northern hemisphere birders appreciate, is the month when the egg timer flips and everything starts pouring back out again in a steady stream south. One of Britain’s recent colonisers the Mediterranean Gull begins to arrive in bigger numbers every year as post-breeding dispersal takes hold.

In April 2009, unseasonably cold weather froze two whopping crane eggs. They were a part of the zoo’s breeding program for the rare birds. And an incident in June 2009, while it didn’t involve death, certainly drew controversy. In November 2008, a virus killed a 15-month-old Asian elephant calf named Malti.

Even during the breeding season the birds appear to be quite unwary of humans. Gibbs writes that ffrench asked him in 2009 to “prepare the short texts to accompany the plates of species not illustrated in earlier editions, and that his family asked him later on to work with the publisher to complete the book.

The early threats of guano harvesting and egg collecting have been replaced by the more ominous threats of oil pollution and overfishing of their favorite food source – pilchards. On the mainland they face predation from domestic cats, dogs, genets, mongoose and Cape Gulls which steal their chicks and eggs.

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! They usually have their first eggs in place by the first week in July each year and they sit on them for 28 days. So, officially they “mate for life&# …but not always!

One of the more interesting aspects (in my opinion) of breeding in birds is their mating strategy. In this system, females mate and lay eggs with multiple males over the course of a breeding season, leaving males to incubate the eggs and raise the chicks. of all bird species, is polyandry. 1996, Nakamura 1998).

Over the past week I have continued to monitor the Pied Oystercatchers along our coast and as usual I observe the birds fight against predation of both their eggs and chicks. The birds first arrived on the mainland in 1996 after breeding on the nearby island, Lawrence Rocks.

The same argument can be made regarding prudential restraint in the number of eggs and chicks a pair of birds produce and nurtures in a nest. In some colonial nesting birds it has been observed that the number of eggs per nest varies from year to year, seemingly in correspondence to variation in food supply from year to year.

As I watched, it slowly moved into a patch of dried vegetation and I noticed that it was settling over a single egg. Two or three eggs may be laid and either bird may incubate.

Breeding behaviour and plumage was very apparent, but John Wise , an ex-pat Brit now resident in Orlando, told me that the birds’ activities had been held up for a couple of weeks during a cold snap that saw frosts in Florida. Boat-tailed Grackles count eggs and chicks as part of their diet and they were well represented here today.
