New Zealand shore plover (Thinornis novaeseelandiae)

Plimmerton, near Wellington, June 2011
I don't know numbers of survivors. I just picked up what I knew from the NZ bird forum.

Mt. Bruce obviously already has birds in their breeding aviaries (and that is where the original introductions to Mana Island came from).

There's some information on the species' history, numbers, introductions, etc here: Shore plover | New Zealand Birds Online
