Incredible. A female falcon was equipped with a satellite tracking system in South Africa before migrating to Finland. Image shows tracker data. In just 42 days she flew over 10.000km at an incredible average of 230 km per day and almost in a straight line.

@weaniejeanie53 that's amazing, at the risk of being a bit geeky do you know what sort of falcon it was?

Researchers fitted a GPS tracking device onto a European honey buzzard and were quite surprised to find just how far the bird flew over its seasonal migrations.
