How to read this map
Red markers: encounter locations abroad for birds ringed in Malta. Blue markers: ringing locations abroad for birds subsequently encountered in Malta.
Coloured lines: movement tracks from tracking projects. Colours correspond to the tracked individuals listed below where a matching track is available.
Ringing records indicate connectivity between locations and do not establish the exact route travelled. Tracking lines connect recorded fixes; movement between fixes is not necessarily known. Coverage is influenced by ringing effort, reporting probability and tracking sample size.
