Frequent flyers - the bionic birds of Broome - AustraliaWide - ABC

Scientists in Western Australia are going to extraordinary lengths to study a group of frequent-flyers who visit Broome, in the State's north, every year. They're not human travellers but migratory birds that swing by to fatten up for their around the world flights. But there's growing concern over the birds' survival rates with their habitats under threat. Scientists are now merging nature with the latest technology to track the birds' flight paths.
