The dotterel Minder signage at Waiwera outlines a disastrous season so far due mainly to extreme high tides.
Plenty of birds at the Waiwera high tide roost site at the Northern end of the beach including-
147 x SIPOS,
23 x VOC's,
249 x white fronted terns
4 x NZ dotterels.
There was also an additional Variable Oystercatcher (VOC) pair with a juvenile.
