Media notes
A couple of dotterel in flight, circling, likely in response to a dog (heard barking) being walked through their patch. The regular ticking is the dotterel; the loudest sound in the recording is the dog. Blackbird prominent in the background, a tui also heard.

Includes a chick. Not certain of total number of adults, there may have been more - hard to count with them coming and going all the time
