It is considered by many to be the third most important wetland in the world. Read more

Godwits Galore at the Pukorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre, New Zealand

On the next leg of our trip, between Auckland and our next lodgings in Rotorua, Bob and I planned a stop at the Pukorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre.
