Yep,
They'll just go out of their way to kill every nesting bird with sticks,
cars, rocks, etc.
Nesting shore birds are known to be vulnerable to disturbance. Until people
become more interested in their own little world (or more educated) acts
such as these will always happen.
Otherwise much more money needs to spent to watch nesting locations, and
that is highly unlikely.
Cheers,

haha....
I think we should develop some 'birders to general public' code:
Nesting Area's = Snake infested Areas.
That should work!

[BIRDING-AUS] Little Terns & Plovers nesting on beaches
The destruction of eggs of beach nesting birds reminds me of a story I've
told before but its worth repeating.
A woman on her regular beach walk was advised by the local ranger that she
ought to proceed in another direction as she was about to tread on the
eggs in the nest of a Red-capped Plover. "Thankyou for your concern" she
responded, "but it's okay today because I'm wearing thongs"!
