Stienen, Eric Availability: Unrestricted after moratorium period
Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed Description

Parameters
Diet composition: Observations from a hide Observations on prey carrying parents (parents are distinguished by color markes, rings or feather characterstics) from a hide placed at two meters from the colony. Prey are identified to taxon level and prey length is estimated. Fate of the prey is classified as follows; eten by the chick, robbed by gulls, robbed by terns, lost otherwise. Chicks are individually color-marked and held within an enclosure. Registration of foraging trip duration. Foraging trip duration: Observations from a hide Observations on prey carrying parents (parents are distinguished by color markes, rings or feather characterstics) from a hide placed at two meters from the colony. Prey are identified to taxon level and prey length is estimated. Fate of the prey is classified as follows; eten by the chick, robbed by gulls, robbed by terns, lost otherwise. Chicks are individually color-marked and held within an enclosure. Registration of foraging trip duration. Contributors
