We can not stop progress, but we can record their last fight for survival in Cape Town.
Years ago I picked up an Oystercatcher egg on the beach. I took it home, never thinking how precious that egg was to the bird. I never even saw the Oystercatchers; neither would I have recognized them. In those days my classification of birds was: large white, small black, little gray........
Most people using our beaches today are still ignorant about our precious feathered beach dwellers. They do not even notice them when they picnic on the bird nests.
We shall search our photo database for photographs of Oystercatchers and post the old photographs alongside newer ones.
