What the track shows

Followed for 3 years and 11 months, from January 2007 to December 2010, across 118 recorded positions.

It ranged between 33°N and 56°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 5°C to 22°C.

It averaged 69.6 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 786 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 97% of them.
