The
World Bowls Championships will be held in Christchurch, New Zealand, January 2008.
This beautiful place is where the
Godwits choose to spend the southern hemisphere summer.
Christchurch City Council organises an annual spring celebration to mark the arrival of the first Godwit migrants. The sighting of the birds is signalled by the bells of Christchurch Cathedral, which ring for 30 minutes when the first birds are seen on the Avon-Heathcote Estuary.
