Summary

English: Migration of the Bar-tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica.Bar-tailed Godwits have recently (March 2007) been shown to undertake the longest non-stop flight of any bird. Using satellite tracking, birds in New Zealand were tagged and tracked all the way to the Yellow Sea in China. According to Dr. Clive Minton (Australasian Wader Studies Group) "The distance between these two locations is 9,575 km, but the actual track flown by the bird was 11,026 km. This is the longest known non-stop flight of any bird. The flight took approximately nine days. At least three other Bar-tailed Godwits also appear to have reached the Yellow Sea after non-stop flights from New Zealand."

La barge rousse a été enregistrée (en Mars 2007) comme ayant effectué le plus long vol sans escale d'un oiseau. Suivis par satellite, des oiseaux ont été marqués et équipés en Nouvelle-Zélande jusqu'en mer Jaune (Chine). Selon le Dr Clive Minton (Australasian Wader Studies Group), "La distance entre ces deux endroits est 9,575 km, mais le trajet de vol effectuées par l'oiseau a été de 11,026 km. C'est le plus long vol connu sans escale pour un oiseau. Le vol Il a été effectué en environ neuf jours. Au moins trois autres barges rousses semblent aussi avoir atteint la mer Jaune après des vols sans escales à partir de la Nouvelle-Zélande".
