This pair of Black-fronted Dotterels Elseyornis melanops have become well-known locally for their courageous nesting activities. Now onto a second clutch, after a failed first breeding effort earlier in the spring, we’ll keep our collective fingers crossed for success this time around.

My finders are crossed too Geoff for such delightful birds. Our wren families face threats each day even though they are nesting in a native garden just outside our living room in a secluded place. This morning around 5:45 a.m. a fox trotted down the garden path inches from the shrubs that shield the wrens.
Sorry about the typo Geoff – ‘fingers crossed’ makes more sense.
