We paddle pretty hard here at The Squiz. Each week is a 6-day sprint of early mornings and late stops as we decode the news and work out how to grow. So our hats are well and truly tipped to juvenile bar-tailed godwit #234684 for its record-breaking stint of 11 days and 1 hour flying non-stop from Alaska, arriving in northeast Tassie last week. Even we get to sleep overnight and take Saturdays off… Covering 13,560km as tracked with a GPS chip powered by a tiny solar panel and attached with a harness, the 5-month-old bird smashed the previous non-stop record set by an adult bar-tailed godwit last year.
