Influence of Local Wind Conditions on the Flight Speed of the Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo
Figure 6
Foraging area overlap in two great cormorants that conducted multiple foraging trips. The 95% contours of the kernel density estimates of the foraging areas are shown for (a) Bird A and (b) Bird C (see Table 1). The two rose plots show the frequency of occurrence of wind direction, which is the direction from which the wind was blowing (not where it was blowing to), and wind speed (colour) during outward and homing flights.
