This bird has a black plumage, an orange beak and orange legs. Around the eyes, he has an orange ring. The plumage is similar in both sexes. The body length is 40 to 45 cm [2] and the weight 400 to 800 grams. Habits [edit] Their diet consists of crustaceans, worms and crabs. When shellfish first cut the sphincter, before the shell can slam, and the prey is eaten. They try to after an unsuccessful attempt open the shell hammering on a hard surface. It is a migratory bird. Reproduction [edit] The breeding season runs from mid-April to July. The oystercatcher usually lays three, sometimes four eggs in a nest in a shallow dimple. The eggs are on average 57 x 40 mm. Usually the oystercatcher nests on grassland, but many also found nests on arable land. They also make nests on flat, gravel-covered roofs of larger buildings, where there is no danger of ground predators like fox and ermine. The eggs will hatch after 25 to 27 days. The boy will still be fed by the parents for a while, in contrast to most other birds meadow. oystercatcher, Series Square, square, blue, blue square, art society, Erna Daalman,erna,daalman,figuratief,schilderij,aquarel,relatiegeschenk,broedplekken,territoriumgedrag,weidevogels,trekvogel,schelpdieren,wormen,zwartwit,verenkleed,oranje beak, orange legs,: Breeding Cycle, wader, beach, creeks, mudflats, crabs, portraits, sea, sea and sand flats, studio, workshop For more interest in the work of Erna Daalman
