Since discovering our first Pied Oystercatcher nest on Cable Beach in July 2000 we have observed the breeding of these local shorebirds along the coast between Gantheaume Point in the south and Willie Creek in the north, which is a distance of 23 kilometres. The last time they successfully raised a chick was in 2012.

The huge population of feral cats undoubtedly is having a detrimental effect on our bird life. In order to raise our awareness, to remind us of what we have lost, and to inspire us to fight for Every.
