Notes: What's This?
This release was a trial release, High dispersal rates decreased this population size. Three shore plover were predated by harrier hawk while being held in the aviary on the island (they are not counted in the 5 releases), while at least two shore plover flew to nearby mainland beaches. One bird was caught and returned to the island but soon disappeared again. *75% of released birds had transmitters, and breeding was documented in 1998/99 breeding season but it is not clear if birds from this realse event were breeders.
