Pied Oystercatchers

["Geering, Andrew" <>]

Dear all

I also have seen Pied Oystercathers feeding on grassy areas in Tasmania.
However, a greater surprise to me was seeing Bar-tailed Godwits probing
into compost on a garden bed on Cairns Esplanade.  They were feeding
here despite the tide being only partially full and some mud-flat was
exposed.  Again on a recent visit, I saw them feeding on flooded lawn.
