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.

024 - More disturbance

February 20, 2010







Apart from the people filming, the footprints on the dunes testify of constant dune traffic.





Both Oystercatchers on the dune together when they have chicks usually mean disturbance.

I noticed two people and a dog on the one side of them, and the people still filming on the other side.
