The Godwits

The Godwits are back. I heard on the radio two or three days ago, that a few had arrived back. A couple of thousand more are due back during the next couple of weeks, after their eleven thousand kilometer non stop flight - from around Siberia I think. Apparently, when they leave the Estuary here, they fly North West and stop for a rest in an Estuary in the South China Sea area, and then fly on to their final destination. When they fly back to the South Brighton Estuary, they fly right down the middle of the Pacific Ocean non stop. Amazing.
