The African-Eurasian flyway comprises Greenland, Europe, western Russia, central and southern Asia down to and including the Arabian Peninsula, and all of Africa. The East Asian-Australasian flyway overlaps with the African-Eurasian flyway in central Asia and extends over the whole of Russia and Asia to the east, and down as far as and including Australasia to the south.
