This is a short video of one very hungry Bar-tailed Godwit feeding in some very deep soft mud.
These waders make a huge journey to arrive from the north to Perth for our southern summer. They make the longest known non-stop flight of any bird and also the longest journey without pausing to feed by any animal, having been recorded to fly 11,680 kilometres (7,258 mi) along a route from Alaska to New Zealand.
