Résumé :	Population size and breeding productivity of European Golden Plovers Pluvialis apricaria on a study plot at Dove Stone in the English Peak District were surveyed during 2011-13. Two survey techniques were compared. The Golden Plover population increased over the three years, reaching a density of more than ten pairs per km(2) in 2013. Mean productivity over the three years was 1.22 young per pair (or 1.38 young per successful pair). Some effect of weather on the timing of breeding in the three years was suggested and it seems likely that habitat management and restoration is having a positive impact on breeding Golden Plovers.
