The bird maintains vigilance over the nest, keeping nearby willets at bay (4:04 - 4:35) and later leaving to distract the oncoming researcher.
Note the orange bands on the legs marked “C4″ used for individual Bird Identification for ecological research purposes.
The oystercatcher in this video was discretely monitored to avoid jeopardizing nesting success. This video is for educational purposes, depicting the research subject of a university ecology research ociate. Please avoid disturbing wildlife during the vital stages of nesting.

“Of all birds, these are the chief carnivores; most hunt down living prey. Owls are highly specialized, with superb eyesight and hearing. Most, like the Long-eared owl, are nocturnal, but some, such as the Short-eared owl, are also active by day.
Birds of prey hunt by day. Both groups of birds have acute vision, powerful legs and feet armed with sharp talons for catching prey, and strong, hooked bills for tearing it up. Superb fliers, many remain perched for hours between feeding forays, while others are far more aerial, spending much of the day aloft.” RSPB Description.
BIRDS OF PREY ARE MY FAVOURITE GROUP OF BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
