The Dotterel (7/11)

List item

A beautiful bird that lives on New Zealand’s sandy shores. These are protected birds. They have nests in some plants on sandy beaches and it’s only too easy to walk on their eggs. The eggs are the colour of the sand.

So the area they live in are fenced off to the public and people are told to put their dogs on a leash.
