What the track shows

Followed for 5 years and 10 months, from May 2020 to March 2026, across 2,045 recorded positions.

It ranged between 26°N and 48°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 7°C to 25°C.

It averaged 16.4 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 2,502 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 88% of them.
