Norfolk bird charity finds Britain’s oldest known oystercatchers | Birds

If your ears are attacked by screaming pipe calls to an exciting bird on the eastern coast EnglandDo not be afraid: it may be an oyster suffering from a middle -aged crisis.
Two black and black black birds were found with bright red orange bills to be the oldest known aliens ever in Britain, where they have registered at least 41 and 43 years of clay from washing.
Honorable birds have been monitored and in good health this winter by volunteer bird surfaces in RSPB Snettisham In Norfolk.
Investigations into the data that noticed from their leg episodes found that one, 41 years and eight months, was Rin Kafrach in 1983, and perhaps in the same natural reserve.
The largest bird was discovered after a few weeks and was at least three years old when it was provided with a leg ring in 1982, which could make it up to 46 years.
Like many marine birds and the beach, oyster incers can be long and reach the twenties or thirties of the last century, but on average they survive for only 12 years.
Jacoy Clark, from Wader research group wash“It was amazing to find the first oysters and confirm that it was older in the United Kingdom, but we are more surprised that everything happened again in just a few weeks. To find an older bird on washing, this shows the importance of these huge wet lands of these secrets.”
These homes do not live throughout the year, but they migrate to the area every winter to find safety and reliable foods – invertebrates such as rabbit worm, snails and shellfish – on clay clay. Winter sites are likely to be passed through generations of shellfish.
