This bird flew a minimum 13,560 km non-stop
This bird is a champion flyer and once again an individual has broken the world record for the longest continual flight.
This week a juvenile godwit just 5 months old landed in Ansons Bay in northeast Tasmania. It had been tagged in Alaska and departed there on October 13, 2022 before flying non-stop to Tasmania.
Godwits are regular visitors to Tasmania so it’s likely that many undertake a similar flight but it's the first time a tagged bird has flown between Alaska and Tasmania.
This bird flew a minimum of 13,560 km in 11 days 1 hour, that’s an average of over 51kmh continually for those 11 days. And don’t forgot there will be no eating, drinking or sleeping during that journey!

Wow! Very wonderful bird thank you for sharing
My goodness! Flying nonstop! Without stopping or getting lost! Incredible!
That's pretty neat! You mentioned that the bird was tagged, is there a reason this particular bird is being monitored?
