The Arctic tern migrates the farthest, covering an annual round-trip distance of up to 90,000 km.

The bird flies from its breeding grounds in the Arctic to the Antarctic in winter, then back again.

This long journey is equivalent to flying to the moon and back three times over its 30-year lifespan.

This remarkable journey is the longest migration of any animal in the world.

These birds fly in a zigzag pattern to take advantage of prevailing winds.

By migrating pole to pole, these birds get to experience two summers a year, maximising their daylight hours and feeding opportunities.

Arctic terns are not strong swimmers and don't spend much time in the water.

They feed by gliding over the ocean and plunging their beaks to catch small fish and other marine creatures near the surface.
