From Russia to Petone, rare visitor spotted on beach
Photographer Simon Woolf got a huge surprise when he was photographing birds on Petone beach over the weekend.
He spotted three birds he had never previously seen and posted on Facebook hoping someone would help identify them.
He was surprised to find that he had seen the Lesser knot (sometimes called the Red knot).
According to birdsonline it is a regular visitor from Russia. There are about 120,000 that winter over in Australia or New Zealand but Woolf said he had never seen one before in Wellington.
What is the rarest bird you have spotted?
