Oystercatcher Diary - Day 11 - All Clear

It is so good to be able to report a stress free day for both birds and I.

Sunday, when it was rainy, we thought it was going to be okay and then three early teenage boys headed straight through the lines two hours after we knocked off. Was able to get down and head them off before they got to the nest but shows how important volunteers are.

On Friday school holidays start. It is going to be a very busy two weeks as we'll have a lot of teenagers to share our message to; how important it is to act now to protect our shorebirds. We have a few short years left to get this message through before these birds disappear forever.

Our journey of discovery managing a beach nesters breeding site.

21 September 2015 we found a pair of eggs sitting on the Deeban Spit beach. Thus our crazy journey began. So much to learn.

The opinions expressed in this blog are my own.

So much thanks goes to Sutherland Shire Council, Birdlife Australia and  NSW Office of Environment and Heritage as they have supplied equipment and research required to help ensure our shorebirds, resident or migratory, can survive into the future.
