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*.
Now available with two solar panels, the additional solar area of the S1H 230A is able to absorb more sunlight, allowing the tag to recharge more quickly. Additionally, the extra battery capacity means it will last longer without charging, providing improved performance when daylight is short or birds spend less time in direct sunlight.
* 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.
