I know! They surely won the race in WA! Although in some regions of WA, like the lakes in Yalgorup NP, hoodies can nest in autumn and winter. And probably thatโ€™s also the case in some WA inland lakes.

What better way to celebrate National #ThreatenedSpeciesDay than with the first #HoodedPlover chicks of the season in south west WA? The tiny fluff balls were seen foraging along the beach with their parents. Remember to give birds space!

Less than a month for #PloverAppreciationDay on 16 Sept! We started dedicating #plovers this day back in 2015. We'll be celebrating 10th anniversary with an art competition for children. Entries by 15 Sept to bnb.events@birdlife.org.au. We'd love to see #ploverart on socials from all ages as well!
