The Pūkorokoro Naturalist Trust are asking for support to vote for the Kuaka (Bar Tailed Godwit) to be named as Bird of the Year. See below:
I wondered if you would be willing to join our campaign to have the Kuaka – probably under its Pakeha name of Bar-tailed Godwit - voted as Bird of the Year in the annual poll run by Forest & Bird.
As you may know, the Pukorokoro Miranda Naturalists’ Trust is celebrating its 40th birthday this year and as part of that we have declared this to be the Year of the Godwit so it would be the icing of the birthday cake if we could get the godwit honoured at a wider level.
The poll run by F&B operates on the basis of one vote per email address so I you are able to ask others in Ngati Paoa to vote that would be fantastic.
Voting starts today and will run from 9 am Monday 5 October to 5 pm on Sunday 25 October at www.birdoftheyear.org.nz
