The spur-winged plover (Lobibyx novaehollandiae) is an Australian species, self-introduced to New Zealand in 1932 and now established as a breeding species in Southland and parts of Otago. Its establishment and present distribution are outlined. The method of spread in five different localities is demonstrated. Local movement is described.
