Details NO RANGE DATA
Notes This is the New Zealand Dotterel or sometimes called the Red-Breasted Plover it is related to the Eurasian Dotterel. Sadly they are on the endangered list with only 1300 left in the north and 75 in the south, they are having a tough time helping this bird recover as humans inhabit almost every beach area in New Zealand destroying the birds habitant
Weather sunny 25c
