On September 19, 2024, an Eastern Marsh Harrier (Circus spilonotus) was equipped with the HQBG2512L tracking device developed by Global Messenger. Over the subsequent two months, the device demonstrated outstanding performance, transmitting 491,612 data points. This equates to an average of 8,193 data points per day, 341 per hour, and six per minute, underscoring its capability for high-density spatial tracking.
The application of such a high-frequency tracking system provides unprecedented opportunities to examine the behaviour and movement ecology of the Eastern Marsh Harrier. Detailed insights into activity patterns, habitat utilization, and spatial dynamics are essential for advancing ecological research and conservation strategies.
The HQBG2512L also exhibited exceptional energy efficiency during the study period, maintaining approximately 90% battery capacity despite intensive operational demands. This stability is attributed to the device’s integration of low-light charging technology, which addresses common challenges associated with conventional tracking devices, such as limited operational duration and inconsistent data transmission.
These advancements enable prolonged and uninterrupted data collection, which is critical for capturing fine-scale ecological processes. By overcoming traditional constraints in wildlife telemetry, the HQBG2512L represents a significant step forward in tracking technology, offering robust tools to support ecological research and biodiversity monitoring efforts.
