Did you know that not all migratory birds travel during the day?! 🌙

Professor Henrik Mouritsen from the University of Oldenburg, whose research interests include animal navigation, magnetic sense, and orientation, explains why some birds choose to migrate under the cover of night in this video.

According to Prof. Henrik, some birds choose to migrate nocturnally in order to avoid overheating and predators. But this is NOT the only cool thing about nocturnal migration!
