Oystercatchers on grass

["ANDREW ADCOCK" <>]

Hi all,
I've been a bit surprised at the interest created by this topic as 
Oystercatchers can be seen here in the UK feeding on grass wherever they get 
the chance.  Perhaps it's an opportunistic behaviour i.e if there's grass 
available they'll use it, is grass more unusual at or around coastal 
locations in Australia?
We occasionally get Oystrcatchers well inland and they will then be see in 
fields with cattle.
