10,000 Birds

APRIL 6, 2014

I have followed the breeding activity of the Pied Oystercatchers in Broome along Cable Beach since July 2000 when I found the first nest site and the birds have continued to use the same territories, though there have been some partner changes. I can also monitor any movement along the coast during the year when they are no longer breeding.

Also from BirdLife International: In general it prefers areas where vegetation, boulders or other landscape features at ground level provide tunnels in which to shelter and to breed. Its eggs are not known, it does not migrate, and it feeds, I understand, on insects and worms. Wikimedia Commons: Atlantisia rogersi.

Having written weekly for this website since late 2010 and this being my 642nd post I thought I could summarise some of the posts that I have done from various places around Australia that you might have missed over the years. In 2010 I had a very basic camera and I now own a Nikon B500 Coolpix. Echidna-egg laying mammal-500th post.
