Introduction: Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre Pacific Golden Plover Satellite Tagging Project

Pacific Golden Plover (Kuriri; Pluvialis fulva) are the fourth most common of the Arctic migrants which visit New Zealand in summer, but their population is declining. Over the years shorebird census data shows that numbers of Pacific Golden Plovers wintering in New Zealand are lower each year. Unfortunately very little is known about these migrants, so this summer the Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre is going to try to find answers. They are going to catch 10 birds to fit them with satellite tags in order to track them on their migration route and find out what route they follow. Since declines in other shorebirds have been the result of problems on their migration route they will hopefully be able to stop their population from declining with this knowledge. Wildimages.co (www.wildimages.co) will be tasked with creating a wildlife documentary of about the project and this project introduction video is the first step. We will have regular updates throughout the project. You can follow the progress of this project on Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre website: www.miranda-shorebird.org.nz or their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MirandaShorebirdCentre/.
