Plovers breeding 20-11-2008


Plover and chick. These Plovers were forced into the open by sunbathers occupying their nesting area. The crows were hovering nearby. This chick will be lucky if it survives. The Blouberg Oystercatchers did not seem to find an undisturbed breeding spot on this beach this year.
