The bird world's long-distance champion is probably savvy enough to cope with climate change, researchers believe.
The bar-tailed godwit makes the biggest no-stop migration, flying 11,000km from Alaska to New Zealand every autumn.
It relies on the right type of winds to make this epic journey - winds that computer models indicate could become less favourable in the future.
But scientists say the godwit's ability to judge weather conditions means it should rise to the challenge.
