What the track shows

Followed for 1 year and 7 months, from March 2014 to September 2015, across 246 recorded positions.

It ranged between 28°N and 51°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 1°C to 20°C.

It averaged 50.5 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,611 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 85% of them.
