We have just received our latest copy of Miranda News, the journal of the Miranda Naturalists' Trust and I wanted to share a few interesting points from it.
There are a couple of articles written by Tony Habraken about those long-distance migrants, the Bar-tailed Godwits. The first telling of the sheer fluke that led to the collection of data proving the 11,000 km+, eight day, single flight from the breeding grounds in Alaska to New Zealand. It was as a result of a battery outlasting its expected lifespan, by a few months, that this data was made available.
