Its legs are pale pink, and its eyes are ringed with red. Adults measure about 40\u201345 cm in length. It feeds mainly on mollusks and crustaceans, using its sturdy bill to crack open shells. Oystercachers are found primarily along coastlines, but they may also frequent the banks of rivers and inland lakes. They nest in colonies on sandy or gravelly beaches, generally laying 2\u20134 eggs. During migration, they can cover long distances, moving to milder climates for the winter.      <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b133c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8b133c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Situation in Italian-Speaking Switzerland<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f69e84a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f69e84a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"font_8\">In Italian-speaking Switzerland, the Common Shelduck is quite rare.
