From: Far eastern curlew and whimbrel prefer flying low - wind support and good visibility appear only secondary factors in determining migratory flight altitude

Fig. 3

Environmental conditions through which a far eastern curlew (panel on the left; ID-182225) and whimbrel (panel on the right; ID-UEE073) migrated during a section of their northbound journey from Merauke, Indonesia to East China sea and from Kupang, Indonesia to Wenzhou, China, during the period 14–18 March 2019 and 20–25 April 2018, respectively. Coloured dots indicate individuals’ in-flight fixes while black dots indicate stationary fixes, for wind support (panels a, e), cloud cover (b, f), temperature (panels c, g) and relative humidity (panels d, h)
