He is Onon a Cuckoo. This bird was in Kenya on 29th April. Today he is in Madhya Pradesh. He has completed his crossing of the Arabian Sea to India and, for good measure, flown another 600 km inland also. It is 5000 Kms flying in a week. Feel that amazing feat. @BirdingBeijing

Imagine non stop flying over Arabian sea for days & for thousands of kilometres. Which machine can beat nature.

“He’s wearing a solar-powered transmitter, the signals from which are picked up by satellites and sent to a ground station in almost real time.” For info.

They don’t stop on water. They fly non stop. They don’t eat also while flying over Arabian sea. They store energy in advance before starting the journey.
