This offers a lot more protection than the exposed nest site. In the header photo the Pied Oystercatcher chick is only just to the right of the adult.

Birding even close to home didn’t even appeal to me, as the extra movement added to the dry heaves (pregnancy is super fun, am I right ladies?). With my new job, I feel privileged to work towards protecting vulnerable species each and very day. So cheers to 2020, and more birding adventures!

But every outing has its high point.
