A juvenile black-tailed godwit has set a world record for marathon bird flights by flying 8,435 miles (13,560 kilometres) non-stop from Alaska to the Australian state of Tasmania. The migratory flight took 11 days. These beautiful birds are regular visitors to the Humber wetlands; I saw a pair yesterday.
