managed to find him again + continue the chase. The chase lasted about 5 minutes, when the P took off speeding towards the right, and landed across the gully. March 12. Went to nest # 1 at 11:20. No bird. Put dummy 7 20 ft. from nest, up ridge north of nest. (It was an improved dummy over that used the other day). At 11:50 piping started down the gully. Moved about quite a lot, may have been more than one bird. At 12 a bird on the second ridge north of blind fluted in front of an advance of sheep. Flew down into gully. Piping stopped briefly after the bird had flown, then resumed. Piping stopped again just before red bird appeared about a yard to left of nest. Must have come up the gully or on the slope below the blind. It saw the dummy, was a little nervous, jerking its neck and walking very slowly toward nest. Ruffled feathers, + sat on nest. Shortly after (maybe 5 minutes) the piping started again, and it sounded down the slope below the blind. Eventually I spotted the piper almost down to the main gully, but did not have time to watch it before it retreated at the approach of a Irish and dog. March 13 AKP to nest # 1 at 7:40 AM. Red bird on the nest. Piping on the same hill as the blind
