What we know about bird migration is still swamped by what we don’t know. It’s one of the most extraordinary phenomena in the natural world. But technology is advancing all the time, and we can now monitor a lot of it in real time.
Show PostBut perhaps that’s understandable. The truth – vast numbers of birds fly halfway across the planet twice a year, overcoming challenges that would freeze the blood of most mortals, because the overall benefit to their species outweighs the dangers – is, on the face of it, just as ridiculous.
Show PostThe most outlandish now seem laughable: they transmogrified from one form to another, they hibernated at the bottom of ponds, they flew to the moon. All these were suggested and discussed with great earnestness.
Show PostIt’s often said that before the Pfeilstorch nobody knew where migratory birds disappeared to in the northern winter. But it is, as they say, a bit more complicated than that. Ideas had been thrown around for centuries. Some were right, some were wrong.
