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.

026 Feeling uneasy


The female is on alert. She senses danger ahead.
 


It is a lovely warm beach day. And with the (foreign film company?) taking up the main dune, the people are choosing the smaller dunes where the birds hide.

 


She decided that she no longer feels safe where she has been hiding her chicks.
