New Zealand dotterel banding report number one

Notornis, 25 (3), 186-194

H.R. McKenzie (1978)

Article Type: Paper

Eighty-six New Zealand dotterel (Charadrius obscurus) have been individually banded with metal and colour bands between 1950 and 1977 in the Auckland district. Subsequent sightings of banded birds show that some move considerably within a limited range and that others are fairly sedentary. The recovery history of the most interesting cases is given in outline. The oldest-known bird, a male, is over 26 years. A female was recorded breeding within her first year.
