S1H 130A (2mm grid size)
These compact Argos satellite transmitters enable you to track small birds during their journey. High efficiency solar harvesting and an adaptive transmission protocol maximise the use of the sun’s energy. No longer do you need to wait for starling-size migrants to return and then endure the nerve-racking attempts to re-trap them to recover the tags. The data are delivered to you daily*.
Lotek’s PinPoint GPS Argos tags have already revealed fantastic migrations with astonishing accuracy on some of the lightest species ever satellite-tracked. Now, the Sunbird Argos transmitter has been developed to reduce tag-weight further, by removing the weight and energy costs of the GPS. Our PinPoint Argos tags have higher GPS accuracy than the Sunbird’s Argos Doppler locations, but the lighter weight of the Sunbird means you can track even smaller species on migration.
* Provided the tags receive sufficient sunlight, the tags should transmit long enough every day to be received by Argos satellites.
Studying the migration of birds too small for units that send GPS data remotely. The solar cell must be kept above the feathers to operate effectively and time spent in shade will reduce the energy harvested. These tags will work best on species that are predominantly out in the open with long and sunny days.

1. Weight may vary +/- 10%, and more if heavier antennas are required.
2. Tags can operate for an indefinite duration when sufficient solar energy can be harvested and the tags are not subjected to excessive wear and tear.
3. All tags are pressure tested.
