This bird’s stamina is remarkable: it flies non-stop for 5 days from Japan to Australia, but now its habitat is under threat

"Imagine having to fly non-stop for five days over thousands of kilometres of
ocean for your survival. That’s what the Latham’s Snipe shorebird does twice a
year, for every year of its life.

This migratory shorebird, similar in size to a blackbird, completes this
gruelling migration to warmer climes, where it prepares itself for its return
flight and the next breeding season.

Unfortunately, their wetland habitat is now being lost to development and other
pressures, putting this tough little bird at risk."
