E7 Godwit Where is she now?
I recently found this link with lots of information about the migration of godwits.
Some of E7s cousins from Farewell Spit were also implanted with transmitters.

On Farewell Spit we called it “the blob”
Then in Christchurch maybe it was an alien? It turned out to be part of a whale.
Each time one of these becomes washed up we get a little more information.
The photos here are of the blob we found beyond the lighthouse on Farewell sit in 1990 or there abouts. We could find no information about it then and guessed it was part of a squid. A few years ago something similar was washed up on an Australian beach and identified as part of a whale but not which part.
Look here to see what it really was.
