Abstract

The article discusses a study which examines and compares the diet between Black-legged Kittiwake adults and chicks in the southern Barents Sea. Findings show the lack of significant differences in the prey composition and prey size in the diets of both adults and chicks in the 2012 breeding season. It indicates the possible contribution of season and geography to the differences of diet among surface feeders.
