We thank Orkney Islands Council for access to Eynhallow and Talisman Energy (UK) Ltd for fieldwork and equipment support. Marine Scotland provided access to anonymized VMS data. Handling and tagging of fulmars was conducted under licenses from the British Trust for Ornithology and the UK Home Office. EE was funded by a Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland/University of Aberdeen College of Life Sciences and Medicine studentship. We are grateful to Jason Matthiopoulos, Thomas Cornulier, Beth Scott, David Lusseau, Julien Martin and Tiago Marques for suggestions on model development, and to the many colleagues who assisted with fieldwork. We thank Emer Rogan and University College Cork for providing desk space to EP. Finally, we thank Editor-in-Chief Ben Sheldon, Associate Editor Luca Borger and three anonymous reviewers for their useful comments on the paper.
