This incredible bird flies from the south coast of Australia to Siberia (and back) every year, back and forth - 10,0000 kilometres each way. In this episode, Harry gives Jeremy and Brad an insight into the eastern curlew, its mind-boggling journey, the key pressures threatening its survival, and recommended solutions to protect this amazing bird.
