A Bar-tailed Godwit | Kuaka in hard enamel designed by Wellington creative; Natty.

These amazing Godwits migrate between Alaska and Aotearoa New Zealand twice a year. From Alaska to NZ it’s an 11,000 kilometre journey across the Pacific Ocean - the longest non-stop flight of any bird (as they are not sea birds they do not rest or feed on the sea on route), it generally takes 8 to 9 days.

• Size: approximately 4.5cm wide & 3cm high
• Packaged on an illustrated backing card
• Two rubber back fixings
• NZ made

This pin was created by a NZ creative who has their own small business called “Natty”. Natty has been designing, creating and making for over 20 years and is based in Wellington. They are inspired by Aotearoa’s unique species and aim to evoke and celebrate the natural environment rather than impact on it. They aim to use natural materials for making and packaging as well as using local suppliers. 

We are proud to stock their certified NZ Made products which make a wonderful memento or gift from Tiritiri Matangi Island.

All proceeds go towards our conservation and education programmes on Tiritiri Matangi Island - thank-you for your support!
