Celebrity guest stars on Petone Beach - red knots/huahou
On Monday there were three, and today there are four red knots (Calidris canutus), aka lesser knots or huahou, on Petone Beach. A completely new species for me. Has anyone ever seen them on Petone Beach before this week? I certainly haven't. I read that they have come all the way from Russia or the New Siberian Islands! Privet moi tovarishchi (Welcome my comrades).
