Distribution of the four identified wintering areas for the Greater Scaup Aythya marila in Northern and Western Europe based on results of spatial analysis using Kernel Density Estimation to subdivide units within the overall distribution of wintering areas. “Peripheral areas” comprise the wintering population in UK/Ireland—Unit #1, which probably now originates almost entirely from birds breeding in Iceland and Unit #4, which has until now constituted important staging areas but can be expected to become more important wintering areas in the future.
