Summary from the 2010 Biennial Hooded Plover Count Report
2134.2 kilometres of suitable coastline (i.e. Hooded Plover habitat) was identified in NSW, Victoria
and South Australia, of which 82% was surveyed
A total of 1231 Hooded Plovers (HP) (1164 adults and 67 juveniles) were counted:
Comparison with the 2008 Count revealed that, in proportion to the coastline length surveyed in each
region, there appeared to be significantly fewer HPs between the NSW border to Point Hicks, and in
The Coorong; and more HPs between Warrnambool and Yambuk, as well as between Wilsons
Promontory and Waratah Bay
The highest densities of HPs were recorded between Warrnambool and Yambuk, on the Mornington
Peninsula, Bass Coast (San Remo to Inverloch), and on Kangaroo Island
