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.
