Yesterday morning with perfect sunny weather, we held the 5th Welcome to the Godwit event at Sandy Bay Road Reserve. This is an annual event hosted by the RTH team.
With over a hundred local residents including many children it was a fun active event. It also gave me a chance to share through the scope some sightings and information about our flock of over two hundred bar-tailed godwits including juveniles that have recently arrived from Alaska. They will stay with us until March. Then many will return via China to Alaska to breed.
