Bar-tailed Godwits migrating from the Alaskan tundra to New Zealand hold the record for non-stop migration. After breeding in the tundra, they embark on a non-stop flight of 11,600 km, travelling south across the Pacific Ocean and arriving on New Zealand's North Island only some six days later, having flown at an average speed of 80 kilometres an hour!
