Feral cats are a huge problem in Australia and they do take a lot of the eggs. As we explored the reef over the following hours we found our Pied Oystercatchers enjoying and investigating food options. These are not pet cats, but cats that have only ever lived in the wild and can survive in extreme conditions.

My surprise at reading such a detailed account (I don’t have Klem’s dissertation in front of me, but I’m imagining this is a more personal retelling) was tempered by the thought that Klem wasn’t describing any old research, this was the FIRST research project investigating why birds fly into glass.
