Media notes
Australian Pied Oystercatcher pair hunting in the shallows, Coodanup Peel Inlet. The beautiful Australian Pied Oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris) is one of the most admired Australian shorebirds with its neat black and white plumage, long red bill, red eye-ring and pink legs and feet. They forage for worms and other invertebrates mostly on sandy beaches and mudflats, but also probe for terrestrial earthworms and other prey on mown grass. They are wary birds, and usually do not allow a close approach. Australian Pied Oystercatchers occur all around the coast of Australia except in areas with unbroken rocky cliffs. Elevation: 0 m. Date added to IBC: April 15, 2018.
