Survival of breeding Finsch’s oystercatchers (Haematopus finschi) on farmland in Canterbury, New Zealand

Notornis, 49 (4), 233-240

Article Type: Paper

We investigated the annual survival of Finsch’s oystercatchers (Haematopus finschi) breeding on farmland in mid-Canterbury, New Zealand. Annual survival from 1987 to 2000 averaged 0.892, with evidence of a small amount of variation in survival rates through time (estimated SD = 0.034). We found no indication that survival rates differed between males and females. However, recapture probabilities showed that males had stronger fidelity to breeding territories than did females. These results are similar to those reported from populations of H. ostralegus in Europe. Because oystercatchers are long-lived, the survival rate of adults is the key component in determining population size. Intensification of agriculture on the breeding grounds and disruption to coastal feeding grounds may reverse the trend for population increase in this species. Consequently, the survival rate presented here provides a basis for predicting future population trends.

Unusual bird records at the sub-antarctic Antipodes Islands from 1978 to 1995 increased the number of bird species recorded previously at the group by 15. The total avifauna now consists of 29 breeding species and 26 vagrant species.
