- Apapang covered nearly 5,400 km in 5 days 15 hours, including an approximately 3,100 km nonstop leg over central India and the Arabian Sea in about 76 hours.
- The trio was captured on 11 November at Tamenglong, Manipur, where three of ten birds were fitted with 3.5‑gram satellite transmitters under Phase 2 of the Manipur Amur Falcon Tracking Project.
- Post landfall, Apapang moved inland across Somalia toward the Kenya border, taking his tracked total to roughly 6,100 km in six days eight hours.
