It's Incredible - Roscoe - 09-03-2023
Godwits fly 11000km across the Pacific from Alaska to Farewell Spit in 9 days. It is the longest non stop migratory journey of any bird in the world.
An a380 jet is impressive but try to make a machine that weighs 300 grams - after fuelling for the trip 600 grams - that can fly to Alaska.
The miracle of nature

One of the natural miracles I particularly like is the way some of our world's beetles look like jewels. I came across a book in the library that was just page after page of photographs of these wonders and had to get an Amazon copy for myself. Every now and then I pull it out just to page through it for the wow factor...

And Godwits probably wont lose their luggage or cancel their flight.
