Initial findings of a ground-breaking project that tracks Scotland’s seabirds using technology akin to car ‘sat-navs’, has revealed that seabirds are foraging much further afield than scientists had thought.
The Future of the Atlantic Marine Environment (FAME) project tracks Common Guillemot, Kittiwake and other seabird species in an attempt to identify crucial marine feeding locations. The project followed several birds from the Northern Isles looking for food vast distances from the colony while others stayed closer to home. The islands are together home to some of Scotland’s most important “seabird cities”.
