What the track shows

Followed for 7 months, from June 2010 to January 2011, across 200 recorded positions.

It ranged between 34°N and 49°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 17°C and 21°C.

It averaged 122.8 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 3,869 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.

Of the 320 species followed here, this animal covered more ground than 82% of them.
