In the front 40-50m of dunes, this was fairly scarce, but back in front of the wall of acacia, there is a high density of marram growth.
One single growth right up front, somewhat mangled after eliminating the population of Sidymella trapezia living in it, ref. 3rd photo.

This was one of two clumps of marram in this area, but between them those two clumps housed a disproportionate number of the 2 dozen Sidymella trapezia found (erased) this day.

A seed head. Too many of them. Locally the density of marram can be quite high, ref. 2nd/3rd photos.

Marram has been largely eliminated from the dunes at Ocean Beach, but there are still significant swathes of it at Rangaiika Beach.

Pair with small chick. Chick looked less than two weeks old. Kept my distance as there were quite a few bb gulls on the reef at the stream mouth.

Counted at least 10+ birds along the entire beach, mix of adults & fledglings. Birds resting and foraging along the high tide mark at high tide. Nesting areas roped off on the beach or in the dunes, plus a lot of dotterel 'I need my space' signs along the beach. Disappointing to see one family ignore the signs and step into the roped off area on the beach to remove stones. Didn't appear to be any obvious sign of nesting birds.

This looked like a dotterel nest. It was inside the roped off area on the beach. Lots of bird footprints around the nest. The bird pictured was trying to distract me and lure me away from the area.

emily_rDescripción
One fledged chick and one younger chick (~4 weeks) that appeared to be from different parents. The fledged chick was resting, preening, feeding and trying to snuggle in with the parent. I didn't spot a second fledged chick, but I didn't walk that far as it was raining. The adults were acting agressively towards each other. The younger chick was getting chased off by one of the adults and protected by the other.
