Keith Woodley’s much acclaimed book Godwits, Long-haul champions tells the story of the godwits and their migrations – why and how they do it. $39.90


Help us raise awareness for these incredible manu, their extraordinary migrations and the risks they face by voting #godwitchamp for Bird of the Year!


The current godwit tracking project has revealed much more about these amazing birds, their migration strategies and above all their capabilities. For example, we are developing a better understanding of the part weather systems can play in each migration flight. Yet the birds continue to surprise us. And there are still questions to answer, such as how high do they fly? You can help us with this with a donation to support future tracking projects.


Thank you to the partners, supporters, organisations and volunteers that made this research and event possible.
