Regulars to Churchill Island will have seen our Pied Oystercatchers near the CI side of the bridge, which is one of their favorite resting places. This one was spotted recently in that area and because it is leg-flagged, the Phillip Island Nature Parks team can tell that it is 14 years old. Quite a good effort! But, they can live to be 40 years old. They do breed on CI too.Spotted: a 14-year-old Pied Oystercatcher enjoying the views at Churchill Island.

Pictured are the cart in the CI collection, and an image of soldiers gathered around during WW1. ... See MoreSee Less
