An update on our little ‘Hoodies’

Hooded Plover chicks face many threats including feral animals, dogs and accidental trampling by beachgoers.

Mr. Bodsworth said GORCC has erected bigger signs in the no dog zone in an effort to get coastal users to do the right thing.

“The area is fenced, but unfortunately there has been continual issues with some people not adhering to the regulations and signs in place,” he said.

It’s important we all look out for ‘Hoodies’ along the coast to ensure chicks such as those at Point Roadknight are protected from threats.
