Fig. 1
Post-fledging migration tracks of 32 juvenile greater flamingos from three different colonies located in Italy. The locations of the natal colonies (Comacchio, Margherita di Savoia and Molentargius) are represented by different-coloured stars, while migration routes are represented with solid, dashed and dotted lines according to the natal colony of each individual (see legend). Headwinds and tailwinds experienced during migration are represented in blue and red respectively. The panels on the right show the prevailing wind conditions experienced by each colony from the day of the first flamingo departure to the last. The rose charts show the blowing wind direction (not the wind origin) with the horizontal bars representing the speed (km/h)
