OYSTER-CATCHER SURVIVAL

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.

The people are totally unaware of the Oystercatchers and started running over the dunes where the birds were sitting.

The birds  took to the air.



I went to ask them to please not go any closer, but they were already heading back towards Big Bay.


The Oystercatcher landed again and faced towards the bush, indicating that it was interested, not in the beach but in what it is protecting something  in the bushes.
