One of our favourites and a definite endangered specie in our area, with an estimated population of about 70 on the Fleurieu Peninsula, south of Adelaide. We have been luck to find one pair each year for the past 4 years. The local council had roped off the area where this one has a nest and we took this pic as it was returning from the shoreline to swap roles with its mate. We had noted a sign that recent chicks had not survived, but also noted at least 2 eggs in their sand nest, so we hope again.
