Oystercatchers on the River Hun Norfolk

            Oystercatchers, Dandies of the Estuary..Oystercatchers are fascinating birds. They can live very long lives – a male which was tagged as a chick in 1970 was caught in 2010, making him over 40 years old. A unique aspect about these birds is that they adopt one of two different methods for eating shellfish. Oystercatchers can be resident all year, spending much of their time in mud flats that team with cockles, mussels and worms  here in the estuary on the norfolk coast
