Tapora terek sandpiper and large sand dotterel

Postby Shane McPherson » Thu Mar 11, 2010 12:19 am

Hi all

I recieved a report today of a Terek Sandpiper and a SECOND great knot at Journeys End. Yesterday also maybe a large sand dotterel at Big Sand Island. Tony Habraken is based here for the march migrations, keeping tabs on the godwits. As migration departures reach thier peak in the coming weeks it would be great to hear what is happening at other sites eg Manakau, Miranda and Farewell spit if there are people on the spot.
