You're bound to see some roped areas on the beach, which means #HoodedPlover nests are present! Make sure you read the signs, keep away from the fenced area & leash your dog! Hoodies need your help to avoid extinction

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

2/3 #KnowYourPlover Although #MaskedLapwings may tolerate closer proximity than other #plovers, the success of their chicks is very sensitive to disturbance and parents will fearlessly defend their nests! So don’t get too close! #PloverAppreciationDay #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
