If you look at the map, it’s just a red line. But for Apapang, that line meant crossing oceans, winds, and continents. 🌍🦅 A tiny Amur falcon has flown nearly 4,750 km from Somalia to India in just about 95 hours - a journey now being tracked through satellite tagging under the Manipur Amur Falcon Project. 📡 What makes this even more fascinating is that every movement is being followed in real time through updates shared by IAS officer Supriya Sahu, with scientific inputs from Dr. R. Suresh Kumar of the Wildlife Institute of India. And this story began months earlier. In November 2025, Apapang, along with two female falcons - Alang and Ahu - was tagged in Manipur. Soon after, Apapang shocked researchers by flying nearly 3,100 km across central India and the Arabian Sea in just 76 hours before reaching Somalia. 🌊 Then… silence. For days, the bird barely moved. Because migratory birds don’t simply fly endlessly - they wait for the right winds, the right moment, the right push from nature itself. 🍃 And when the conditions aligned, Apapang rose again. He first touched down near the Sone River close to Varanasi, rested briefly, and then continued another 200 km toward the hills near Gaya. This tiny bird is now expected to cover nearly 6,000 km toward the India–Myanmar forests. A reminder that some of the world’s greatest travellers weigh less than a handful of feathers. ✨ #AmurFalcon #Wildlife #BirdMigration #Technology #Conservation #WildlifeInstituteOfIndia #Nature #BirdTracking #IndianMasterminds

Today was a little Birdtracking on the Roseland. Part of our @BirdTrack list was around St Just in Roseland church. The kneeling pads inside the church are awesome. app.bto.org/birdtrack/pubcon…

Great new study happening in our backyard! @SamuelleSP is using #NanoTags on snow buntings with the #motusWTS network! #lotektelemetry #ornithology #birdtracking #songbirds #birdmigration #birdconservation #birdsinflight #wildlifetracking

a decrease in the activity of these cells was detected. This #NeuronalActivity indicates that these #PelagicBirds have an #innate internal compass. (5/5) #nagoyauniversity #nagoyauniversityscience #migration #birdtracking #flightradar
