a retrospective photo of a NZ dotterel (or tuturiwhatu) found only in New Zealand. It was once quite common but with the destruction of its habitat and the introduction of predators, its numbers have dwindled to around 1700 making it an endangered species. There's a number of them living in the sand dunes in Kennedy Bay and can often be seen scurrying about when the tide is out.
