2019 Breeding Eggs Feral 
10,000 Birds
AUGUST 4, 2019
An empty Pied Oystercatcher nest should mean that there are now chicks and that the parents have been sitting on a clutch of two eggs for twenty eight days. Last week I introduced you to the first Pied Oystercatcher chicks of 2019 and so far they are surviving. This is typical behaviour for a pair of Pied Oystercatchers that have eggs.

We have observed the first Pied Oystercatcher chicks of 2019 over the past two weeks grow steadily. In fact we often don’t have any chicks within two weeks of the eggs hatching and other pairs along the coast have not been successful yet this season.
