Simply Unbelievable!

All hail the Bar-tailed Godwit!

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!

Simply unbelievable!

Picture with King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk and Queen Jetsun Pema of the Kingdom of Bhutan at the reception held by the British Foreign Secretary after the late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral service in London. I had a good conversation with His Majesty who is a humble and engaging young man with a vision for his kingdom. I asked him whether the increase to US $200 fee per day for tourists entering Bhutan will affect the tourism sector. He was unperturbed as he felt that it’s the quality of the experience that matters more for tourists who will be prepared to pay. He also felt that whilst tourism is important he needs to protect Bhutan’s pristine quality of life for the benefit of the people. Bhutan has steadfastly pursued a path of growth that is different from many developing countries striking to keep a balance between economic development and the social well being of its people. All the best to the Kingdom and its people.
