New Zealand became a Partner in 2011 and has now 4 Flyway Network Sites, the most recent designation being 2018, June. During the non-breeding season, New Zealand is host to migrant shorebirds, including Key Species of the EAAFP such as Godwit, Knot and Curlew, escaping the winters in the North to feed and don their breeding plumage.
