Frequent shallow diving by a Northern Fulmar feeding at Shetland

We studied the diving behavior of chick-rearing Northern Fulmars ( Fulmarus glacialis ) in Shetland, U.K., in July 1998. Seen birds were caught oil nests and fitted with data loggers attached to a plastic ring on one leg of each bird. Only one data set, spanning tell days was recovered. Dives (N = 9...
