We asked if NZ red knots stage in northern Australia or New Guinea. Why not both?! HUA has made it to Merauke in West Papua, while HUB is settling down in the Gulf of Carpentaria. globalflywaynetwork.org/flyway/east-as… Natural Sciences at Massey Massey University

New Zealand red knot HUB crossed the base of Cape York peninsula while HUA went about 600 km north. Time for them to settle down to refuel before a flight to China.

Phil Battley reports that HUB, 1st tagged RED KNOT of 3 to leave miranda trust (subspecies piersmai!) takes lovely tailwinds towards Australia. Do they stage in N Australia or New Guinea?

On Coronation Day it seems appropriate to commemorate a meeting in April 2004 between Global Flyway Network and the then Prince of Wales. Phil Battley interacted briefly at the Waterbirds around the World Conference in Edinburgh (500 participants, 90 countries). Photo by Theunis Piersma.
Red #Knot HUC was seen yesterday in the Manukau Harbour, and on globalflywaynetwork.org/flyway/east-as… you can see it moves around across the #Manukau from #Auckland Airport. Hopefully it will show us some fantastic #migration too, soon!

More great research into the migration of great knots. Phil Battley from Natural Sciences at Massey joins an international team describing 13 years of data to show the perils of being undernourished and arriving late. In Journal of Animal Ecology: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…
