Bird set record for nonstop flying

 A juvenile Bar-tailed Godwit set a world record in October 2022 by flying non-stop for 11 days and 1  hour from Alaska to Tasmania, Australia.The bird covered at least 13,560 kilometres without resting or eating,fueled by fat stores and specialised physiological changes.

                   There is a wonderful book titled 'Flight of The Godwit:Tracking  Epic Shorebird Migrations by ornithologist Bruce M.Beehler
