A beautiful Australian Pied Oystercatcher hunting with Black-winged Stilts, 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. Australian Pied Oystercatchers 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. This Australian Pied Oystercatcher was hunting amongst beached seagrass wrack in the shallows of Peel Inlet, south of Perth in Western Australia with a pair of Black-winged Stilts. Elevation: 0 m. Date added to IBC: May 14, 2018.
