Hi Peter
When I was in Auckland New Zealand in 2009 there were four pairs that were
nesting on the roof of shops along Remurea Road. I still to this day wonder
how the chicks ever get down to mother earth ! My cousin tells me that every
year they nest on the roofs in his area.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Masked Lapwings on a roof
For the last four years running there has been a pair nesting on the roof of
the
YMCA at the Jamison Center. Last year I talked to the receptionist there and
she
said that "the Ranger was aware of them". I don't know what happened to them.
A few years ago there was a pair nesting on a flat roof at CSIRO Wildlife
Gungahlin with three eggs that I checked daily. I blocked the downpipes with
wire netting for the duration so the chicks wouldn't fall into them before I
could rescue them but the eggs were gone one morning and there was no sign of
any chicks. There were Australian Ravens around all the time so I presumed they
got them.
