Hi Birders,
Recently while travelling in Victoria during my
summer holidays I came across two colour-banded Oystercatchers. I wonder if
there is any one out there who could provide some information about the history
of these two birds?

yellow band on the right leg was faded.This bird was feeding with four other
birds, two other adults and two immatures.
