Godwits Just Arrived on Farewell Spit

Posted by Paddy on 29 November 2012

Just recieved a text from the folk on the Spit today that they have seen our first arrivals from Alaska for this season.

We expect the Godwits around the 28th -29th of September each year. It looks like they are bang on time.

They’ll be hungry too, just flown 8 days without a single rest all the way from Alaska. No doubt more will follow in the coming days.
