hatched on managed or constructed islands and 27 chicks (2.25 chicks /nest) hatched successfully <br />at sandpits. We observed a daily nest survival rate of 0.98 (range = 0.98 -1.00) for piping plover <br />nests located on sandpits; incubation period nest survival rate = 0.61 (range = 0.55 -1.00; <br />Appendix 19). We observed a daily survival rate of 0.96 for 2 nests located Dinan river islands; <br />incubation - period survival rate = 0.35 (Appendix 20). Piping plover nest survival was similar <br />between sandpits and managed or constructed river islands [X2(1, N =14) = 0.40; P =0.53; <br />Appendix 21]. The first fledgling piping plover was observed on 24 June, 2009 and we last <br />observed a fledged piping plover chick on 9 July, 2009. We observed a fledging rate of 0.86 (12 <br />fledglings /14 nests) at all sites monitored during 2009 (Table 4). We observed a nest -based <br />fledging success rate of 0.50 piping plover fledglings /nest (1/2) at managed or constructed <br />islands and 0.92 piping plover fledglings /nest (11/12) at sandpits during 2009. The 2009 Piping <br />plover daily brood survival rate for broods located on sandpits was 0.98 (range= 0.96- 1.00); <br />brooding - period brood survival rate = 0.77 (range = 0.55 -1.00; Appendix 22). The piping plover <br />brood observed at the Dinan, river site during 2009 fledged 1 chick (Appendix 23). Piping <br />plover brood survival rates at sandpits and the river site were similar during 2009 [X2(1, N =9) _ <br />0.49; P =0.48; Appendix 24]. <br />�r eggs and chicks located on a river island at Dinan. <br />"left <br />w . <br />Y <br />a <br />PRRIP 2008 -2009 Tern /Plover Report Page 21 of 42 <br />
