In late 2009 there was huge excitement in Broome when a Plover was observed at the famous Poo Ponds and was initially presumed to be a Ringed Plover , which is extremely rare, but not unheard of in Australia. It was finally declared a “first for Australia” and was seen regularly at the Poo Ponds for some time.

We had one pair attempt 5 times in 2009, so they don’t give up easily! The first eggs are laid during the first week of July each year and if these eggs fail to hatch or the chicks are lost they will lay further eggs within a few weeks. Sadly a lot of eggs are lost to feral cats and chicks are sometimes taken by birds of prey.

No eggs were laid in 2007, but in 2008 they laid their first two eggs and after three days they did not seem at all interested in sitting on them. The eggs remained there for the whole season and we presume that they were young and inexperienced.
