Three weeks later NZ had a new partner and new nest, and finished that season with six failed nests… more grief. This breeding season our five local resident Hoodie pairs have made 22 nests on the surf beach between Point Lonsdale and Collendina. Excluding Nest V, two nests were successfully incubated but those five chicks all died within several days of hatching. All other nests failed at the egg stage – to fox, unleashed dog or swamped. From nineteen breeding pairs between Point Lonsdale and Lorne only a single Torquay chick has survived to flight [fledged] this season. After the end of this footy season the resilient, brave Hoodies will again attempt to breed on Southeast Australian surf beaches – their only home since The Dreamtime. V for vulnerable.
