  1. Results of two linear mixed effect models explaining between-individual variation in total speed of migration by the predictor ‘total stopover duration’ and by the predictors ‘mean travel speed’ and ‘season’. In the first model, the fixed effect ‘season’ was not significant, 95% CrI: -0.17–0.01 and therefore omitted in the final model. Estimates and 95% CrI are given for each environmental variable. 95% CrI not including zero are given in bold
