This year, like every year, the Pied Oystercatchers have not given up on trying to successfully breed along our coast here in Broome. The breeding season started early this year with the first eggs laid at the end of May. They are currently making nest scrapes once again, so maybe it will be third time lucky.

Heermann’s Gulls form large breeding colonies on arid islands in the Gulf of California, Mexico, from March through July. The largest colony exists on Isla Raza, where an estimated 90–95% of the total world population breeds 1. This photo by Basar from Wikipedia Commons shows the adult in breeding plumage.

There, breeding Amur Paradise Flycatchers have become an attraction for Chinese bird photographers, and the source of some tourism income for the locals. Conveniently, one pair is breeding just about 100 meters away from a place renting out rooms and also providing meals. hours away from Shanghai by high-speed train.

but spring is still springing and birds still winging towards their breeding or wintering grounds.

With birds bedecked in their breeding best and filling the air with song, this is migration at its loveliest. Threatened by loss of habitat both on breeding as well as wintering grounds, a few species have even become endangered or at least on a perilous track towards that worrisome designation.

It’s a protracted event, one that begins with waders, Willow Flycatchers , and other first birds on the move to the south. Bank and Barn Swallows also migrate through in huge numbers, maybe even the majority of the individuals of these common species that breed in North America. How many Sinaloa Martins also fly this way?

According to the HBW, when breeding, male birds do most of the incubation and parenting while females often leave the nest up to one week before the eggs hatch. It concludes that human activity influences the breeding activity of the lapwing. End of side note. To female readers then: the Pheasant-tailed Jacana. How efficient.

If there’s anything good related to the current mass extinction event, it’s that we know it is happening and we can therefore, just maybe do something about it.

It is quite common for several clutches of Pied Oystercatcher eggs to be laid during the breeding season and often within ten days of egg or chick loss. Five years ago there was actually a successful breeding event where all three eggs, instead of the usual two, hatched and fledged.

They stay until May before heading north to the Rann of Kutch to breed.

I participated on the first edition of this event in 2013 as a support member for the South African team. Where these birds come from and where they go after their short breeding season in the Tumbesian region of Northern Peru is still poorly understood. This time however, I am a lead member of a participating team.

There seems to be an unfortunate series of events, as Lemony Snicket would put it , leading to the threat, with climate change as the ultimate culprit. Food instability also appears to be driving down the weight of adult Puffins, and delaying their breeding.

In the non-breeding season, male Baya Weavers sometimes enter the basket-making trade, often with considerable success. Meanwhile, the females seem to have a much more relaxing life, at least in this early stage of the breeding season. I am sure one could make a very boring movie based on the events described in this paper.

And then a potentially fatal turn of events took place at the school – a construction and expansion project was started that would use the space where the owls had burrowed.

I have followed the breeding activity of the Pied Oystercatchers in Broome along Cable Beach since July 2000 when I found the first nest site and the birds have continued to use the same territories, though there have been some partner changes. I can also monitor any movement along the coast during the year when they are no longer breeding.

This is a huge area and it is amazing that a weather event thousands of miles away in the south can make all the difference to the tropics in May. The winds have been between 25 and 30 knots for days now and the warnings have been from Queensland right across the top and down the coast towards Perth.

One such experience is a bird grounding event, sometimes called a fallout. A fallout is usually reserved for more significant events, but there is no true gauge as to one versus the other. As we got closer to our designated free birding day, the weather forecast became increasingly likely for a grounding event.

On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. It’s probably a rare event but then again, how many people are witness to the biodynamic happenings of the tropical forest understory? How’s that for an understatement of the obvious?

Major extinction events that are geologically instantaneous have been followed by periods of time with reduction of species or unstable habitats that last for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Sites lost on average 43% of their species, and occupancy probability declined significantly for 39 of 135 breeding birds.

There are many theories on how they can possibly know that a natural rain event has occurred, but the fact that they do know is incredible in itself. Beyond natural events, bird-life that requires fresh water takes advantage of the water that we provide due to human habitation. Happy ducks in Broome in June!
