Combining VIC and SA, there were 0.38 fledglings/pair, which almost met our recovery target of 0.4 fledglings/pair for #HoodedPlover population maintenance!
Success varied between VIC and SA…

In VIC, volunteers monitored 137 #HoodedPlover breeding pairs (great effort!) that produced 31 fledglings. While each one of these fledglings represents an enormous effort by our volunteers and partners, sadly 0.23 fledglings/pair comes well under our 0.4 recovery target.

We can have an occasional bad #HoodedPlover season, like in 2011/2012, largely due to natural conditions out of our control. We hope next season will be back on track!
This enormous effort across VIC has been possible through @DELWP_Vic’s Icon Species grants & @AusLandcare.
Low #HoodedPlover success in VIC contrasts with SA. What a season in SA! Volunteers monitored 93 breeding pairs & confirmed 56 fledglings, which means an excellent year with 0.6 fledglings/pair. This year’s record goes to the Yorke Peninsula with 0.77 fledglings/pair!

Less beach visitors may have been a good thing for SA #HoodedPlovers! Keep in mind though these numbers in are from intensive monitoring of a subset of pairs; they’re not the total SA population😊Check this thread and VIC numbers for comparison! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-02/hooded-plover-numbers-rising-in-south-australia/12513316
Hooded plover numbers on the rise thanks to reduced visitor numbers

Hooded plovers are vulnerable to human activity on beaches, with their eggs often crushed by 4WDs and chicks attacked by off-leash dogs.

If this is the first time you see this kind of numbers of and have no idea whether these are good or bad, check out our long-term figure to put this #HoodedPlover breeding season into context!
