|| "... No matter how hard he flew, E3 could not keep up with the other birds in his flock. He was almost exhausted. If he didn't find somewhere to rest very soon, he would slowly fall lower and lower. He would tumble from the sky into the sea. What a tiny bird - only 39 cemtimetres long!

beating heart, they crossed the sea, high in the sky."

**Can you find the answers?**
E3 and E7 were the nicknames given to which kind of bird? From which NZ beach did the birds fly? Where did they spend the summer? How big was E7? How did the scientists track the birds' journey? When E3 disappeared, what did the scientists think had happened to him?
