Pied Oystercatchers second attempt at breeding
10,000 Birds
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022
Every year we observe both egg and chick loss amongst our Pied Oystercatcher pairs along Cable Beach and also in Roebuck Bay during their breeding season. The breeding season starts around the end of June and there are still eggs being laid and chicks hatching, but now these are the second clutches of eggs. We have observed up to five attempts by some pairs of Pied Oystercatchers in a season.
