He spotted three birds he had never previously seen and posted on Facebook hoping someone would help identify them.
He was surprised to find that he had seen the Lesser knot (sometimes called the Red knot).
According to birdsonline it is a regular visitor from Russia. There are about 120,000 that winter over in Australia or New Zealand but Woolf said he had never seen one before in Wellington.
What is the rarest bird you have spotted?

The price for an entry level house often starts at $1 million, and queues extend down streets for the many young wannabes viewing the few properties on the market.
The Wellington City Council wants a more livable city, but many can’t afford to live and work in it, while others think proposed changes will remove what makes it so liveable in the first place.
The Wellington City Council has a Draft Spatial Plan that could radically change the city.
That includes more medium to high-density buildings in the CBD, particularly focused around prominent transport routes and hubs.
Many large character homes could be bulldozed to allow for high density apartments and multi-storey buildings.

Shaw has played, administered and coached Saints Softball Club in the Hutt Valley for more than 55 years.

An assistant coach at three world championships and head coach at a further three, she helped the White Sox achieve a world ranking of eight.
Shaw is perhaps best known as a stalwart of Hutt Valley and community sport. She has coached the Junior White Sox team and led the Hutt Valley Women's National League team to five successive titles and the Hutt Valley U19 and U18 teams to three successive titles.
Prominent in the success of the Hutt Valley Sports Awards, she was inducted as a Legend in 2013.
The Shaw clan have continued her legacy with daughter, Kiri, and grand-daughter Denva, both playing for the White Sox.
Grandson Sage Shaw-Tait
