Max 27/17 May FSP (SmA1), mean 3.8 (3 last year), and median 2. Reported this year mostly in summer (45%) and autumn (31%), with a lower rate in winter (14%) and spring (31%). 6 breeding records: earliest dy/16 Dec Nth Weston Ponds (HeS1) and latest dy/17 Mar Woodlands Wetlands Dam GrK03 (SpB1).

Distribution map
Distribution - 2017
This map shows the observed distribution of the Black-fronted Dotterel for 2017.
The red circles are the grid cells where Black-fronted Dotterel have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 315 grid cells with reports, 83 had only one sheet; an example is grid number A11.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Black-fronted Dotterel was 66.7% (eg grid number R12) and the minimum was 0.4% (eg grid number I12). 
Distribution - all years
This map shows the observed distribution of the Black-fronted Dotterel for all years.
The red circles are the grid cells where Black-fronted Dotterel have been reported.
The transparency of the red circles indicate how many surveys sheets were submitted for that grid cell; the darker the red the more reliable the data. Of the 703 grid cells with reports, 55 had only one sheet; an example is grid number A12.
The size of the circle represents the reporting rate. The maximum reporting rate for Black-fronted Dotterel was 53.8% (eg grid number K3) and the minimum was 0.0% (eg grid number K13).
