The bar-tailed godwit is one of a number of waders that breeds in north-east Asia and migrates each year to the southern hemisphere along the East Asia/ Australasia flyway. In summer they can be found all around the New Zealand coast, concentrated in estuaries and inlets with broad intertidal flats. The ecological integrity of wetlands along their longdistance flightpath is vital to these birds.
