Notes
The Manx Shearwater is an enigmatic bird. Nesting on remote islands off our coast, they spend their days foraging far out to sea, only returning to their nesting burrows to tend to their chicks under cover of darkness. A new study from UCC is aiming to understand how underwater visibility affects seabirds’ ability to forage for fish and other prey.
