4% doesn't sound like a lot-- except 4% short of 2,800km is quite a bit, taking heart rate as a rough indicator of endurance.

"We estimated birds’ energy expenditure through different proxies...

Heart rate varied greatly among individuals, with a clear decrease during gliding—corroborating its energy-saving function. Furthermore, we found consistent proof for decreased heart rate during in-wake flying, by up to 4.2%."
