This is a beautifully hand carved and hand painted model of a preening godwit or the other name: sandpiper. Made with great skill by fair trade artisans in Indonesia, this long-billed wading bird ornament would make a perfect gift for someone who loves birds - and would fit in perfectly with a sea-themed room.
Godwit or sandpiper fact:
Godwits are record-breakers! In October 2022, a 5 month old, male bar-tailed godwit was tracked from Alaska to Tasmania, a trip that took 11 days, and recorded a non-stop flight of 8,400 miles (13,500 km).
