Dotterels nest amongst Piha crowds
Despite the odds being stacked against them, three dotterel chicks have managed to make it through the peak summer period on one of Auckland's busiest beaches. It's just the second time New Zealand dotterels have nested at Piha and a small team of volunteers have been doing all they can to keep them safe from predators and other dangers. RNZ reporter Sarah Robson headed out to Piha to check how they're doing.
