Here's a photo of an adult Piping Plover with 3 eggs about 3/4 the way out the Francis Street spit at Milford Point on 4 June 2010. This nest was discovered while walking out to the end of the spit to observe a new nest discovered by Julian P. earlier in the day. This PP and its mate are probably a pair that had lost their nest and eggs within the week. The new nesting spot is not in a great location because it is probably too low to withstand the next run of high tides. Laura S and Orla were to have exclosed both nests on 5 June 2010.
