A Variable Oystercatcher rests on the sand in its nesting territory at Hobbs Beach on Tiritiri Matangi Islands western coast..Larger than the more common South Island Pied Oystercatcher or SIPO, Variable Oystercatchers tend to be seen in pairs rather than flocks along the New Zealand coastline where they feed on shellfish, crabs and marine worms.
