Abstract
An analysis of 1962–1975 recoveries of Lesser Black-backed Gulls ringed as chicks on Walney Island (Cumbria) discloses the changes in migration patterns that have occurred. The results are considered to support only the exploratory migration model of bird migration.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
