Description

What's the fastest game bird in Europe? This was the question that inspired the founding of Guinness World Records back in 1955.

Starting with a single book published from a room above a gym, GWR has grown to become a global multimedia brand, with offices in London, New York, Beijing, Tokyo and Dubai.

Today, we deliver world-class content, not just through books, but via TV shows, social media and live events. Whatever the medium, our ultimate purpose is to make the world a more interesting, fun and positive place.

Also the bird was the red-breasted merganser. In case you were wondering
