The public administrations of Gran Canaria want the birds to continue moving freely through the south of the island. To facilitate your intervention in the conservation and recovery of the snowy plover. In the surroundings of Maspalomas or Castillo del Romeral it is a classic bird. The breeding period in the south of Gran Canaria begins in December, when pairs are formalized. Their breeding season usually covers the months of February to July and even August, with a main period between March and June. It uses sandy areas of the beaches, preferably those containing small stones and sand, although it does not rule out coastal or stony areas, tides, even salt marshes, as well as ponds and dams.
In these environments she usually lays between two and three eggs, in a depression made by the male in the ground. The eggs are sandy or light brown, with black and gray stripes and spots. Incubation usually lasts between 24 and 27 days. She frequently lays two eggs a year, although they can also be replacements depending on the number of survivors. The chicks are very active from the moment they are born and leave the nest very soon to get food, although they will continue to be protected by their parents from possible predators - such as introduced mammals -, from human disturbances, and from inclement weather.
