In spring It returns north In two flights,from New Zealand to China a mere 10,300 km hop,then after refueling for a month on the rich Inter-tidal mudflats bordering the Yellow sea,It flies a further 6,500 km to return to Alaska. Such Is the annual story for the Bar-tailed Godwits of the East Asian-Australasian flyway. Then Imagine <hat happens when that vital mudflat In China or South Korea Is suddenly not there anymore....
