Our first Pied Oystercatcher eggs for this year’s breeding season were laid early and were due to hatch last weekend. This pair of Pied Oystercatchers never seems to have a problem with incubating their eggs. They take it in turns over the twenty eight days sitting or hovering over the eggs. Pied Oystercatcher egg.

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. We are very pleased that at least one Pied Oystercatcher chick has survived this year when there has not been much good news for 2020. They do not attempt to breed for about seven years.

Following on from the sad loss of our first Pied Oystercatcher chick of 2020 the other eggs are now also hatching. Somehow the twenty eight days passed without the eggs being run over. Pied Oystercatchers always try and move away from the nest site as soon as possible once both eggs are hatched. Pied Oystercatcher family.

It does seem like the order is concurrent with the 61st Supplement, which came out in 2020, but Northwestern Crow is included as a full species.
