Hello all,

Further to my observations of a few months ago of Pied and Sooty Oystercatchers feeding in soft lawn.

The other day at Dover (50km S. Hobart, TAS- the same place I watched the behaviour before) I observed a pair of Pied Oystercatchers and one lone Sooty Oystercatcher feeding in lawn. The Sooty was wary however, and stopped as soon as I pulled up and poked a camera out the window. I got some photos of the Sooty with its bill covered in the tell-tale mud, but that was all. Once again, it was after some fairly heavy rain in the morning.

Cheers

Mick Todd
