Waders on Ahuriri Lagoon, Napier

Notornis, 6 (5), 145-150

D.H. Brathwaite (1955)

Article Type: Paper

During five years (1950–55) seventeen species of waders have been recorded on Ahuriri Lagoon, evidence has been obtained for the occurrence of an eighteenth, probably since the earthquake, and there are literary records of two or three others in the last century. The records include the first New Zealand record of the black-fronted dotterel, the second of the least sandpiper, and what is presumably the fourth of the Japanese snipe. It is to be hoped that projected development on the lagoon do not result in such changes that this interesting and attractive group of birds will cease visiting Napier.
