One pair of Pied Oystercatchers nest just north of the rocks on Cable Beach and have to deal with the four-wheel drive vehicles and camels on the beach, but as soon as the eggs have hatched out they move the family approximately two kilometres further north through the dune system.

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 chicks sheltering under their parents wings.

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.
