Cheers guys,
The reasons I ask is that im studying bird use of strandlines at the moment, got six weeks to get some interesting data in.
Ive also many of the birds you list feeding in strand lines clyde birder, but they never seem to appear when im watching under test conditions! so far rooks, jackdaws and starlings are the major strandline feeders.
whats also intriguing is that lots of councils these days are ploughing up beaches in cackhanded attempts to remove 'unsightly' seaweed accumulations which are full of bird food as you say,
So im keen to get some conclusive data in to combat this over zelous cleanliness...
anyway, anymore info would again be much appreciated!
hangloose buddies, J.
