The nest attendance of Kentish Plovers at an undisturbed site increased over time and was influenced by ambient temperature and day-night cycle. These findings provide a baseline for investigating the effects of disturbance on nest attendance.
Nest attendance of Kentish Plovers Charadrius alexandrinus at an undisturbed site increased from approximately 70% in the initial days of incubation to 90-95% after day 10. During the day, nest attendance was negatively associated with ambient temperature, indicating that warm weather allowed parent birds to spend more time off the nest. At night, nest attendance was constant. Our results provide a baseline for nest attendance against which the effects of disturbance can be investigated.
