OYSTERCATCHERS ON BLOUBERG BEACH

Ploverbeach we called it, the stretch of beach between Blouberg beach and the old Horse trails. A pair of Oystercatchers were struggling to hold onto their breeding territory while the area became popular with holidaymakers and new residents who moved into the area.

023 Don't care attetude

2.20.2010

I went to the people on the hill and asked them if they were aware that there is a notice asking people to stay clear of this site because the birds are breeding.




They were foreign European visitors.
They indicated that they did know but did not care.


I saw no point in continuing the conversation as I was by that time convinced that the birds must have chicks or lost their eggs again.
