Variation in the correction factor used for converting counts of individual Guillemots Uria aalge into breeding pairs

The correction factor k (breeding pairs/total count of birds) was measured for two nesting groups of Guillemots Uria aalge over 6–7 years. The value varied between different subgroups but there were no significant differences between groups or between years. These results, and those from other studi...
