Box plots (showing median, lower and upper quartiles, whiskers extend 1.5 times the interquartile range from the 25th and 75th percentiles and outliers) illustrating the differences between spring (green) and autumn (orange) migration parameters of tagged Oriental Storks (Ciconia boyciana) during migration. Individual graph plots show: a migration distance (km), b migration duration (day), c number of stopovers, d stopover duration (day), e travel speed (km/day), f travel duration (day). Also shown are g mean tailwind assistance experienced in autumn and spring and h mean autumn and spring daily flying speed in relation to headwind/tailwind. Probability levels for statistically significant differences between autumn and spring migration parameters are shown based on paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, “NS” indicates not significant
