A bird has done what seems to be very impossible by flying such a long distance as people thought was impossible. This flying animal flew all the way from a country in Europe to Nigeria.

This bird believed to belong to the University of Helsinki in Finland flew all the way from that part of Europe to Jigawa state in Nigeria. This animal is a rare breed whose botanical name has been deemed to be Osprey Pandion halietus.

However, the rare bird is popularly known as the Western Osprey. Members of the community said the bird had landed in Jigawa when it was caught on Thursday, October 25.

Those who caught the bird said a ring bearing some information was spotted on one of its legs. It stated that it was owned by the University of Helsinki, Finland.

Awed at the flying prowess of the Osprey, the bird was kept within the premise of the Baturiya Wetland Reserve in Jigawa.

Abubakar S. Ringim, a student of Zoology in Jigawa, was very much interested in this miracle enacted by the rare bird. Hence, he took to his Facebook page to talk about the bird.

He made it known that the bird flew over a distance of 5808 kilometres just as he made it clear that the bird had been released from the reserve to further spread its wings and fly.
