Status of godwit in New Zealand

Notornis, 6 (2), 30-39

R.H.D. Stidolph (1954)

Article Type: Paper

A preliminary investigation of the status of the godwit in New Zealand suggests that its summer population here does not exceed 200,000. The indications are that its migratory route to and from Siberia and New Zealand are in a much more direct, north to south, movement than has been usually accepted and is not by way of the Malay Peninsula. Considerably more field work is required to make a more accurate assessment of the numbers of godwit in New Zealand.

Recovery of ringed harriers

Notornis, 6 (1), 6-10

J.S. Watson (1954)

Article Type: Paper

In the three years 1951–3 206 harriers have been caught and marked at two trapping stations in Hawke’s Bay. Thirty-five birds have so far been recovered and a further 14 were recaught in subsequent years where ringed. The returns indicate that the old birds tend to stay within a radius of about five miles but a proportion of the young ones disperse up to several hundred miles from where they were ringed.
