A species of heron has been tracked flying for almost two days non-stop between Australia and Papua New Guinea during its northern migration.
Australian researchers used GPS to follow eight plumed egrets and 10 great egrets over a period of months .
Great egrets were found to disperse in all directions, but one flew almost 2,400 kilometers over several months before settling near the town of Kalo , southeast of Port Moresby .
