Great Knot 'LW' tagging record - India
Remember E7, the bar tailed Godwit? Scientists put a radio tag on her, when she set off from New Zealand. She went from NZ-China-Alaska and back. The rounds trip lasted from 6th February to 7th September, and was a total of 30,000 kms or so.
Now the amazing thing was that on her return, she did something like 11,570kms NON-STOP.
Well, here are examples of further such epic journeys.
One, of a Great Knot tagged as LW was spotted in Bengal's Henry Island after flying in from China and Siberia! The link gives an account of the excitement of the birders who actually found the bird.
Another is of a Bar-headed Goose, C6, seen in Veer Dam, Maharashtra.
I shall keep my eyes peeled for such tags!
