Survival of adult Common Guillemots Uria aalge at three Scottish colonies
We present the results of a mark-recapture analysis of survival rates of Common Guillemots with at least one year's breeding experience for birds from three Scottish colonies. Estimates of overall survival of adults from the Isle of May (North Sea), Canna and Colonsay (both off northwest Scotla...
