Plovers nest in playground

An area of Woy Woy Public School play area has been roped off after plovers made a nest in it.

This is not the first time the plovers have again laid eggs in the middle of the grass play area.

Despite being shooed away during the school holidays, the plovers have returned to make a nest.

The school has roped off the area to give the plovers some space as the birds do become anxious, squawking and flying at low levels when students get to close.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service advised the school that the plovers would not make physical contact with humans.

The service advised their students sit or stand still if plovers begin to fly around.
