Pied Oystercatcher eggs become chicks
10,000 Birds
AUGUST 28, 2022
One of the pairs of Pied Oystercatchers on Cable Beach have hatched their eggs this week. There had been one egg in the nest scrape on July 25th and a second egg followed. This Tuesday I was expecting the eggs to start to hatch and they did just that. As you can see in the header photo the nest was in a very exposed area, but it was back from high tide and had survived for twenty nine days.
