Moonbird B95 has become the ambassador for the worldwide preservation of Migratory Shorebirds. This tiny 1.4 kg Red Knot flew 515,000 kilometres in his lifetime. The distance is equal to flying to the moon and half way back hence his nickname Moonbird. He has been sighted and recorded along his migration route for more than 18 years. Globally Red Knots (Calidris Canutus Rufa) are under threat and endangered due to loss of habitat, declining food stocks and global warming.
