Abstract

This report presents analyses of bio-logging data collected from adult common guillemots, razorbills, and Atlantic puffins breeding on the Isle of May, and black-legged kittiwakes breeding on the Isle of May, St Abb’s Head and Fowlsheugh (east Scotland) over the period 2010-2021, required to assess potential effects of the Forth/Tay offshore wind farms (OWFs) on local protected seabird populations.
