#plover lover

I didn't realise/know that this documentary series (which I was a consultant for this Garden Route episode, that features my research) was aired on SABC3/S3 (in South Africa) earlier this year!! I'm so glad it was able to reach a larger audience with primetime public broadcasting!

Brief shot of one of my plover loves at 0:02-0:03 in the promo above…& the whole episode (← this source not location restricted, but use AYOR) is worth watching, but if you're interested, the segment on the birds & my research (including a rare appearance by a very blonde fieldwork version of yours truly!) starts at 30:43.

You can also find it through various streaming services; currently on:

Amazon Prime Video

Apple TV+

From Our Bird Friends and Foes, by William Atherton DuPuy, illustrated by George Miksch Sutton (1925).
