What the track shows

Followed for 2 years and 2 months, from June 2023 to August 2025, across 620 recorded positions.

It ranged between 27°N and 45°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 10°C to 26°C.

It averaged 10.5 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 802 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 55% of them.
