Table Hill (foreground) is the last stronghold of the species on Stewart Island, with eight or nine pairs attempting to nest during the past season. Birds have steadily disappeared from other parts of the Tin Range (background) during our study. Unlike their northern counterparts, who usually a nest on sandy beaches, the dotterels on Stewart Island nest in stunted sub-alpine vegetation, often among rocky outcrops.
