Our first Pied Oystercatcher eggs for this year’s breeding season were laid early and were due to hatch last weekend.

Non-breeding Pied Oystercatchers join flocks either to the north or south of Gantheaume Point. They do not attempt to breed for about seven years. There are still newly laid clutches of Pied Oystercatcher eggs on the northern section of Cable Beach , so there is hope still of more survivals.

However, it’s not until the end of the first week of May that the majority of the breeding birds return to our village. The first eggs are usually laid at the end of May or sometimes in the first week of June, but this can vary depending on the weather.

They breed in colonies scattered around the Antarctic continent (the number ranges from 60 to 70, and as Kooyman points out, the colonies can drastically change in size from year to year) on the ice (and one of the things I learned from this book is how many different kinds of ice there is in the Antarctic) in the darkest months of winter.
