And the 2022 award for Minimalist Nest Construction goes to …… the Black-fronted Dotterel (Elseyornis melanops). This bird has set up its ‘nest’ right in the middle of the newly graveled meeting area. It blends in very well with the stones. Please keep your dogs on a leash and avoid this area if possible whilst the eggs and chicks are in the nest.
