Ok, for those of you whose interests extend beyond the genitals of Thailand's young men, (are there actually any here???)might be interested in the following discovery. The Godwit, a small brown bird, has been found to make the longest migratory flight of any bird, flying non-stop from its breeding grounds in Alaska to New Zealand in September. Over the years I have found it a very comforting (they make a joyous call) when hearing the first Godwits calling on the last winter nights. Little did I know they had just flown non-stop from Alaska (7145 miles) to get here!
