On New Zealand’s North Island, the Firth of Thames is a particularly interesting area for observing shorebirds. It’s not a very touristy place, but if you’re into birdwatching, you should definitely stop at the Miranda Shorebird Centre! Here, you can observe a fascinating endemic species: the Wrybill (Anarhynchus frontalis). Although this plover can be seen in other parts of the country depending on the season, this is where you’ll find some of the largest concentrations.
