Oystercatcher

09 Mar 2012 Oystercatcher by David Cookson

Oystercatchers have been back at their inland breeding sites for a few weeks, a fact that's hard to miss if there are any pairs local to you! Wintering almost exclusively at coastal sites, Oystercatchers become more 'detectable' for many of us when they disperse inland and begin their noisy courtship displays. This combination presumably accounts for the marked increase in reporting in late February and early March.
