It is flat open country as you approach Wolfe Creek Crater and to be perfectly honest we were not expecting to find too much bird-life around due to the complete lack of water other than what would be at cattle troughs. It was actually surprisingly windy and the birds could ride the thermals quite well. Camel bush. Mulla mulla.

Sadly the outcome from here is often chick loss from predation, but for now we will enjoy observing the two families of Pied Oystercatchers as they wander the dunes and come down to the ocean to feed when there are less people around.

One particular bird in our area is at least 24 years old and has maintained the same territory for many years. Some birds have given up their territories and/or their partners over the years that we have been observing them, though. Pied Oystercatcher family. Pied Oystercatcher family looking for food.
