The three chicks are alive and doing well. Already roaming outside the fenced area, which makes me a bit uncomfortable. Parents around but a bit distracted chasing two other dotterels, possibly the ones that have been here all season but for some reason haven't nest (two males maybe?). They were not threatening the chicks. It looked to me as they wanted to be a part of the group, take care of the chicks maybe. Anyways, I'm not looking forward to a busy weekend..

emily_rDescription
Two older chicks doing well. The larger chick looks nearly ready to fledge. Also two new chicks on the beach, about 1-2 weeks with other NZ dotterel pair. Difficult to get decent photos from a distance due to the heat shimmer. Didn't get any closer to minimise disturbance.
