Manawatu Branch goes for an adventure!

November 3, 2022 Posted by Kiwi Conservation Club

In October members of the Manawatu KCC headed down to Foxton Estuary to welcome the godwit back to New Zealand shores. Foxton Estuary has been a RAMSAR site of international importance since 2005 which recognizes the estuaries’ importance for wading and shore bird species. 

They spotted a flock of Godwit, four royal spoonbills, a white-faced heron and a tern, from the viewing platform. After viewing the birds they headed down to see what the birds had been feeding on, and with great delight they found rather a lot of mud crabs.
