Spotted this cattle dog on Whiterock Road near Te Muna Rd on my way into Marty about 11.30am today. Obviously lost as it stops and looks at every vehicle passing.
Saw it again on way home near Shooting Butts Road, heading toward Jellicoe Street. Stopped to pick him up and take to vets but wouldn't let me near him. A couple of passing farmers also tried but to no avail.
He's multi coloured, large black/whiteand ginger patches. He's very muddy and has a choker chain around neck.

"This is the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Toyko Bay. A large park with wetlands, surrounded by city and full of birds (and bird hides). I met quite a few Japanese birders here. They were very helpful with IDs. The bird looks quite a lot like our black-fronted dotterel. Bird #48 in 2023."
