Thanks to support from Auckland Council staff, I am busy upgrading our Northern New Zealand dotterel signage with new sturdy signs. The old signs have worked well and have survived going under water at high tides in this location.
The new signs I think are more appropriate to illustrate our work & message to protect dotterel habitat.
After the successful fledging of one dotterel chick last season, we are hoping to build on that again this year although a harrier did fly overhead while I was fixing up the sign. Harriers and high tides are the main enemy in this location to successful dotterel rearing.
