Every spring, a group of special guests fly more than 5,000 kilometers from Australia to Taiwan. They are migratory birds mainly of the families of sandpipers and plover. After a short stay in Taiwan, they will continue to fly more than 5,000 kilometers back to their breeding grounds in Siberia.

So how do they achieve this work?
