Fig. 3

The migration routes taken by tracked Black-faced Spoonbills (Platalea minor), based on telemetry data from 34 individuals reported in the literature (see “Methods” for details). a Spring migration, including 10 tagged individuals captured at 2 wintering sites: Hong Kong (Deep Bay, n = 6, black) and Taiwan (Taijiang National Park, n = 4, orange) in China. b Autumn migration, including 24 tagged individuals captured at three breeding sites: Chilsando Islet (n = 8, dark green) and Gyeonggi Bay (n = 10, red) in South Korea and Xingren Island in Liaoning Province, China (n = 6, yellow). Dot-centred circle = the capture sites. Revised summering, wintering, and stopover ranges are shown in green, blue and light purple, respectively. The red inverted and black regular triangles = summer and wintering sites, respectively, used by tracked individuals. The names of all the capture sites and main rivers are shown on the map. All lines are shown as the shortest distances between two sequential fixes, which may not represent the precise routes taken by the birds concerned
