Well these amazing birds arrived here in Christchurch New Zealand a week or so ago...they fly here apparently non stop from Alaska...losing around 2/3 of body weight...they totter around on the estuary for a bit, have a snooze for an hour or two..and then 'tuck' in..!!
this year they rang out the bells of the Cathedral when the first birds touched down..and a small plane flew overhead saying..."The godwits have arrived..Spring is here"
What a good welcome..!!
Anyone up North see them leaving..like the Yukon River Delta..
Cheers
