Rocky headland shorebird species

Rocky headlands are home to the wandering tattler (migratory) and the sooty oystercatcher (resident).

You’ll have to look hard to see wandering tattlers. They are small birds that blend into the surroundings while foraging on the rocky headland. This camouflage means they are difficult to spot.
