Tonight (1st March) I have about 150 Oystercatchers roosting next to a pond about a mile inland. This is within a small wildfowl collection where they often rest during the day. I don't know how frequently they roost here as I just happened to be walking past this pond at dusk tonight, I went back to check an hour later when it was dark, they were still there. It is coincident with some high spring tides.
I've never heard of Oystercatchers roosting inland on a moonless night before. Is this unusual behaviour?
