Is It a Bird?

A male Bar-tailed godwit (4BBRW) carrying 4 leg rings and a 5g satellite tag has broken the world record for a bird, making a non-stop migratory flight (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/oct/13/jet-fighter-godwit-breaks-world-record-for-non-stop-bird-flight). The bird covered the distance (12,000 k) from Alaska to New Zealand, in only 11 days. Now, that's what I call impressive! Imagine what it could do without the added weights.
