We have been busy walking the beach and keeping an eye on our local Pied Oystercatchers and the two pairs that laid their eggs earliest for the 2018 breeding season and successfully hatched out their chicks have now lost their chicks to predation.

Feral cats have been able to adapt very well in Australia and have grown larger over the years and can survive in areas that you would not expect.

Even the first explorers to Australia documented there was a risk of extinction of birds and animals into the future and subsequently decided to collect as many specimens as possible! The huge population of feral cats undoubtedly is having a detrimental effect on our bird life.

Setting aside the feasibility of extracting DNA from specimens and fossils, and finding a suitable similar species to donate an egg, there is much debate on whether we should bring back those species we’ve lost. Tibbles did contribute, but it was a population of feral cats that did the bulk of the killing. Should it be?
