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.

It is time to go and the female urges her chicks to leave the cover as a new threat approaching.


A family decided to settle nearby, unaware of the birds.
