Big news from the mudflats! The UK’s oldest known Oystercatchers - aged 41 and 43 - have been discovered on The Wash. That’s three times their species’ average lifespan! Legends wade amongst us... 😎 A reminder of why the East Coast Wetlands are so special: buff.ly/rgnjIeg

A striking Oystercatcher strolls along wet, rocky mudflats, its vivid orange bill tipped with a tiny morsel of food. The bird’s black and white plumage glows in the low sunlight, and a small silver leg ring is visible, marking it as part of a long-term study.

Establishing how long waders live for is a key factor in understanding their population dynamics. WWRG has been researching waders on the Wash for over 60 years: new longevity records for the species demonstrate the value of long term sustained studies wwrg.org.uk/record-break...

Is well know species differ in the prey they eat, but do individuals also specialise? Here I discuss how oystercatchers differ in diet, whether stab or hammer to enter prey, whether attack upper or lower surface and whather attack left or right side. youtu.be/XDMX-nwSXvY?...

Yesterday's news that a @washwader.bsky.social Oystercatcher had broken the @btobirds.bsky.social longevity record for a wader (now 43 years from ringing to latest capture) begs the question: "How long do other waders live for?" Answers here: wadertales.wordpress.com/2018/01/16/w... #ornithology

Welcome to our new account! WWRG has been closely monitoring migratory waders on the Wash Estuary UK since 1959 and has noticed an interesting movement of wader enthusiasts to this location!
