Ringed Plovers nest in shingly areas near the top of beaches, often with sparse vegetation. The nests are shallow scrapes with well camouflaged eggs.
They had two chicks but only one survived.
Newly hatched Ringed Plover chicks only remain in the nest until they have dried off and are strong enough to stand and begin to move around. The time varies from just a few hours to a day, but most have left the nest within 24 hours. Thereafter they do not return to it and instead they are brooded from time to time wherever they happen to be by either of the parents. They can find food and feed themselves as soon as they are able to walk.
