DESCRIPTION:Advances in tracking technology during the last decade have sho
 wn that migratory birds have the capacity to fly longer and faster than we
  previously thought was possible. Yet\, we do not know how birds perform t
 hese seemingly impossible travels as it previously only was possible to re
 cord spatiotemporal patterns. Now\, with the help of new technology\, we h
 ave the possibility to study not only where birds go\, but also how they g
 et there - how high they fly\, exactly when they fly and when they stop. T
 he few studies carried out to date using this technology have provided hin
 ts of stunning new insights and seriously challenged previously assumed li
 mits on peak flight altitudes\, in-flight changes of altitudes\, and durat
 ion of individual flights. For example\, we have discovered a totally unex
 pected altitudinal behaviour: some bird species change their flight altitu
 de between night and day and fly at extremely high altitudes during the da
 y (up to 6000-8000 m). But what makes a migratory bird fly as high as Moun
 t Everest\, even when there are no mountains to cross? And what could this
  behaviour tell us about the constraints of bird migration?\nSpeaker: Siss
