Farewell the Godwits/kuaka as they leave the Ahuriri Estuary on the start of their journey along the East Asian – Australasian flyway back to their breeding grounds in the Arctic.
Listen to the story of these incredible birds and the long migratory journeys they make, followed by a guided walk to view the birds. The bar-tailed godwit/kuaka performs the longest nonstop flight of any non-seabird and is the most common Arctic migrant in New Zealand. For Māori they were birds of mystery, ‘Kua kite te kohanga kuaka? Who has seen the nest of the kuaka?’
