New Zealand dotterel with egg on South Kaipara Head. The northern subspecies breeds on beaches around the coast on the northern half of the North Island where it lays eggs in a depression in the sand lined with pieces of grass or shell. The southern subspecies numbers less than a hundred and breeds — mainly on hilltops above the treeline — only on Stewart Island.
