WWF has set up a web area for the project, please take a look . It contains project background information, duck profiles, a project updates page, and an interactive map where you can view the migration path and most current position of each duck. It is updated once a week (normally Wednesday's). A Chinese version will be available in the coming weeks.

Three duck are still sending regular signals. The latest available data shows one is in North Korea (Eurasian Wigeon), one in South Korea (Eurasian Wigeon), the other in Japan (Northern Pintail).

Around this time last year we only had one duck sending signals, it reached Northern Japan then signals stopped. With any luck these 3 birds will complete their southern migration and we can find out where they over-winter. Would be great if they came back to Mai Po!
