Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr).

Wait for it! Semipalmated Sandpiper on Achill Island this afternoon with @_danielowen watching on. An absolute joy to watch this fearless little transatlantic arrival alongside @mogobriain as it refuelled on craneflies and nymphs. Filmed remotely using an iPhone.
