Following on from the sad loss of our first Pied Oystercatcher chick of 2020 the other eggs are now also hatching. We moved back and sat on the sand and watched the Pied Oystercatcher family. As we sat observing the Pied Oystercatcher family the adult with the chicks moved down onto the sand below us and the other one stood guard.

It’s the bird family that most people don’t know is a bird family. For many years it was thought the two bird families were related taxonomically. Introduction. It includes a table listing the species, subspecies, author and date of original description, which I found quite handy in sorting out the birds.
