Oyster catchers in the car park

[Ron Massie]

Please be aware that the birds have laid an egg in the usual spot in the car park.
There is a starting table placed close to the nest to protect the birds, please leave in place.

There were two eggs in it last night when we were all up at the field last night

Ah!! So that's where our two birds have absconded to.
Our 2 @ West Calder have the same habbit of laying eggs in the middel of the car park, but they have only been seen once then have dissapeared. Co-incidentally a large fox was seen at the site recently.

I think that Fox came up and visited us last night. The egg has gone!

[TomLaird]

You'll know if it has hatched as the parent go mad employ diversionary tactics if you go anywhere near the chick.

Our oyster catcher family are back for their yearly birthing visit. Usual table has been placed in the car park over the egg for protection.
