New technology has revealed the remarkable feats of one of nature’s smallest creatures.
A goldcrest, Europe’s smallest bird, flew more than 400 miles across the storm-lashed North Sea from Holland in less than eight hours.
The incredible feat of endurance by the goldcrest has been picked up by Motus, a hi-tech receiver installed at Spurn Bird Observatory on a narrow strip of island jutting out into the sea at Kilnsea on the Yorkshire coast.
