Denis
– the Bird and Bat Banding Scheme people want this info and will reply to your
report with where and when the bird was banded
They
have a page on how to report sightings here: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/science/abbbs/recovery.html
I
sent in another Pied Oystercatcher recently which it turns out was 21 years old!
(19 years since being banded). I’m told they live up to around 30
years.

Flagged Pied Oystercatcher at Shoalhaven Heads
I was
wondering if someone could suggest how I can track down the people who
flagged this Pied Oystercatcher?
The bird
was seen at Shoalhaven Heads, near Nowra, NSW, on 28 December 2010.
To the
best of my knowledge, these birds are not migratory, but someone might like to
record the "sighting" - but who?
