OYSTER-CATCHER SURVIVAL

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.

Disturbance around the Oystercatcher nest site.   The mound in the photographs is the site of the nest.  The bird leaves the nest when people approach.
