HUGE THANKS to everyone! #PloverAppreciationDay was a success! So great to see so many #PloverLovers from all around the world! We're busy now gathering all the photo captions! We'll announce the winners by the end of the week. It will be a tough decision! #PAD2019

3/4 Beach users, #KnowYourPlover!
Gone #fishing? Take a good look around before setting up to fish. If any #plovers in sight, give them space. Keep away from fenced areas as the bird would be kept off the nest. Remember to take your litter home!

1/4 Beach users, #KnowYourPlover!
#DogWalkers, plan your off-leash walks by checking the signs and being aware of which local beaches have birds. When birds are present or you’re in doubt, #onleash on the beach is always best!

3/3 #KnowYourPlover If a #MaskedLapwing swoops you, don't curse them. Remember they’re just protecting their chicks! Like other #plovers, the tiny chicks can’t fly & must navigate urban landscapes to find food! Now imagine how vulnerable they are! #PAD2019 #ProtectingHoodedPlover

1/3 #KnowYourPlover #MaskedLapwings are misunderstood #plovers sometimes mistaken for our most threatened #plover, the #HoodedPlover. However, while lapwings may nest in urban areas, you’ll only find hoodies nesting & living on beaches. #PAD2019 #ProtectingHoodedPlover

Let's talk plover!
In the leading up to #PloverAppreciationDay, follow #KnowYourPlover to learn tips to help your local #plovers and share any observations, experiences and questions! We'd love to hear from you!

It's #ThreatenedSpeciesDay! This #HoodedPlover wanted to remind us how much trouble they face to survive every year. If you head to the beach this weekend, give these birds space, especially now that they're breeding!
