This year the first clutch was laid at the end of May and this is the first time we have had eggs laid in May along Cable Beach since 2000. Well, not quite like clockwork, because this year one pair of Pied Oystercatchers on Cable Beach laid their first clutch of eggs a bit earlier than normal.

Still, not a bird that merits flying 2000 km from your hometown. Bowing to this non-pressure, here is an Alpine Leaf Warbler , which has the benefit of looking marginally more attractive than the indistinguishable leaf warblers most common in Shanghai. The same does not apply to the Blue-fronted Redstart that is quite common at Balangshan.

Since I found the first Pied Oystercatcher nest on Cable Beach in July 2000 I have learnt that the eggs rarely hatch due to predation and if they do hatch then a fully fledged chick is a rare and wonderful outcome. I have written many articles about our resident Pied Oystercatchers over the past twelve years.

If there are changes to where people walk through the dune systems then they will adjust their nest site accordingly.
