A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to the pair of Pied Oystercatchers that were the first to start breeding along our coast this year. Since then we have had the two pairs of Pied Oystercatchers that breed between the Surf Club and Gantheaume Point lay their first clutch of eggs. Pied Oystercatcher nest.

As I sit at my desk writing this post about the latest attempt at breeding for one of our pairs of Pied Oystercatchers I realise I have written 677 posts now for this website. The nest site has moved occasionally since I first observed one on Cable Beach in 2000. I suppose they know me! One large Pied Oystercatcher family !

Some predicted that at that rate the wood stork would become extinct by the year 2000. The wood stork occurs and breeds in Central and South America. are considered a distinct population segment, which is protected by the ESA and the Migratory Bird Treaty act.

If you have been on the receiving end of any guided birding you know that a good guide can make or break the trip and João was up there with the best in terms of his knowledge of the local sites, breeding birds and visitors, coping easily with our constant questioning.

The best season for the north-west circuit is February to May, during the rains when most birds breed. Serengeti NP protects a huge swathe of almost 15,000 km2 / 6000 mi2 in north-west Tanzania. The best timing is during the rains, April-May and October-November, when birds breed. Lake Nakuru. Photo Syllabub / Wikimedia Commons.

At the beginning of the 20th century they were nearly extinct, with no breeding pairs left in the west of Germany and just very few in Germany’s East. They were protecting the last three pairs that were left in West Germany from egg thieves! Ospreys have shown a remarkable recovery in Germany. Go Eagles!! all the way to Saxony.

Hence, I was quite surprised with a brave, almost exciting paper by Brown, Forbes and Symes: “Recent history of the Egyptian Vulture in Southern Africa” (Vulture News, 2000). In the 1970s we had two to four breeding pairs, in the 1980s one to two, in the 1990s it was zero to two (irregular breeding).
