A big week for beach-nesting birds on the NSW far south coast: 3 new hoodie chicks and 12 (6x2) Pied Oystercatcher chicks!
This Pied Oystercatcher chick at Mogareeka is one day old. #shorebirds#WildOz
Some 2020 positivity:
Wet/Mild Winter conditions has resulted in a much earlier start to breeding (32 days earlier than in 2019), and this week we had our first two broods successfully fledge!
This is only the second time in 33 years that we have had fledgies in September!
