2 chicks, about a week old. Low quality pics as it was getting dark. Built a rudimentary shelter for the chicks with a few logs, hope they make it. Parents around chasing BBGs.

The Auckland Four-Wheel Drive Club had visited the beach the day before. On the whole they had stayed below the high tide mark, but had ventured into the nesting area at the southern-most stream mouth. No sign of any dotterel chicks. There were either three or four dotterel pairs, all behaving territorial.

Second attempt, hopefully goes better than the first one! Area has been roped off. Nest in an usual good location; top of a vegetated dune, mostly spinifex and pingao. As it is not exposed, I don't think we will install a protective cover.

I think it's safe to say it: mission accomplished. 3 chicks fledged from the only breeding pair in Piha, nesting right in the middle of dogs off-leash area.

Two chicks, just hatched last night or early morning. Apparently still incubating one egg. VOC and spur-winged plovers nearby, one had a go at the chicks but dotties fought back.

Moved everything from Union Bay to the new nesting site. Not the best location but here's hope. 1 egg laid so far. Bird incubating while partner foraging near the stream.

The nest was abandoned, the birds probably felt the eggs were no good after the storm surge from a couple of weeks back. I found this one buried in the sand. The birds have moved further south and are having a second attempt. See https://inaturalist.nz/observations/18548623
