    I love watching these guys running around the beaches. Most people here are still very ignorant of their predicament. Posted 9 years ago

The Hooded dotterel

The hooded dotterel is a species of bird in the family Charadriidae. It is endemic to southern Australia and Tasmania where it inhabits ocean beaches and subcoastal lagoons. There are two recognised subspecies which form isolated eastern and western populations. The eastern subspecies is of greater conservation concern, with listings varying from Vulnerable in South Australia and Victoria to Critically Endangered in New South Wales.
