Pathtrack is celebrating 20 years of innovation!
For two decades, we've advanced avian tracking technology, from the world's lightest GPS tracking tags (0.75g) to wireless download tags from 2.0g, pressure sensors, accelerometers and more.

Looking forward to @EOUnion #EOU2025 at Bangor University starting on 18th August!🐦
We’ll be showcasing how our GPS tags are enabling high-resolution tracking for a wide range of ornithological research.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Super excited to have deployed the first new GPS-Acc @pathtrackltd loggers. Finally a busy night. Had great help of MSc Jitse to tag four recaptures and two new females! #nightjar #ornithology

How do you follow breeding outcomes in shy, cryptic species? Quantum theory of ecology (can’t see them without affecting behaviour) in breeding #Curlew can be circumvented with careful use of good quality GPS tag data (hint: lots of regular locations!) thanks @pathtrackltd !
Really excited to see our article on identifying Curlew breeding status from GPS tracks in @Ecol_Evol! Many thanks to all our co-authors who've helped get this published. The work was funded by @NatResWales following @RSPBScience funding pilot tags. doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9509

Did you know that some birds wintereing in the Tagus Estuary come from Asia?
The map below depicts the annual movements of a Grey Plover, tracked remotely with a GPS/UHF device.

Grey rocket plover! One of the 20 birds tagged last night with @pathtrackltd and @HQXSCN gps devices. Curious to see how these #waders explore #Tagus estuary in the next months. Ready for the next round!

@CESAM_Univ – at Alcochete, Portugal
Been mist-netting waders #Tagus estuary for the past couple of nights to deploy GPS tags on Redshank, Grey-p & Btgodwit. @JoaoRBelo1 will keep us updated on future findings!

Where do #whimbrel breeding in the Northwest fjords of Iceland spend the rest of the year?
Map below shows the movement of 3 individuals between 2021 & 2022. Routes are very similar to those breeding in the South (see our profile header image).

Winter is coming... And so do our waders!
We already have everything ready for them:
- Tags from @pathtrackltd ✅
- Antennas are set in some of the most important roosts in Tagus✅
- Motivation 💪✅
Only missing the coolest part -> Capture Waders
Stay tuned!

The first GPS track of a Storm-petrel from the Faroe Islands - super exciting to have finally managed this after a lot of hard work from all involved!!! A south-east foraging foray towards Shetland over 2 days, reaching 160km at its furthest point. #biologging #seabirdresearch

And that’s a wrap to #corkseabirds Thanks to all who shared their exciting research with us over that past few days. @TheSeabirdGroup @GreenCampusUCC @uccBEES
