Sooty Oystercatchers

[(Jan England)]

As a newcomer to Cairns I am still finding good birding spots and learning
what is local!  However, on Friday afternoon I ventured down a fishing track
off Moore St. at the northern end of Trinity Beach, Cairns and found a pair
of Sooty Oystercatchers fossicking on some rocks.  They are unusual in the
Cairns area.  I am thoroughly enjoying birding in this area and the
temperatures have been cooler than elsewhere south of about Mackay!!
