New Zealand plover

The New Zealand plover, red-breasted plover, or New Zealand dotterel (''Charadrius obscurus'') is an endangered species found only in certain areas of New Zealand. Its Māori names include tūturiwhatu, pukunui, and kūkuruatu. It is related to the Eurasian dotterel. There are two subspecies, ''C. o. obscurus'' in the South Island and ''C. o. aquilonius'' in the North Island.
New Zealand plovers are shorebirds and are usually found on sandy beaches and sandspits or feeding on tidal estuaries. Around 1990 these birds were nearing extinction with about 1300 northern dotterels, and approximately 75 or so southern dotterels but conservation measures have been effective in raising these numbers to 1700 and 250 respectively by 2005.
== Breeding ==
thumb
Parents lay eggs in the spring and summer. They nest on beaches above the high tide mark, and the nest is just a shallow hole dug in the ground, not made of twigs like a nest in a tree. The chicks hatch about 28 days after the eggs have been laid. Because the nests are on the ground, chicks can walk the day they hatch and can usually fly within 6–8 weeks.
