    • Talk: Filling the Gap: 5 Years of Shorebird Surveys in North Korea
      • Join author and New Zealand Order of Merit recipient Keith Woodley as we hear about the work of Pūkorokoro Miranda Naturalists’ Trust conducting five years of shorebird surveys in reclusive North Korea, and the discovery of internationally important sites for shorebirds. Each year thousands of shorebirds migrate between New Zealand and breeding grounds in Alaska and Siberia. The best known of these are bar-tailed godwits that make the longest non-stop flights of any land bird. Storing fat before they depart our shores in March, they then take a nonstop flight to tidal flats in the Yellow Sea region of China and Korea, where they stage for several weeks replenishing fuel reserves, before resuming the journey to the Alaskan tundra.
