Seabird colony monitoring

Home / News / Seabird colony monitoring

A field visit was carried out in May at the two largest colonies of the Mediterranean Shag and the Auduin’s Gull in the broader area of Andros Island in order to monitor the reproduction of the two species. The Mediterranean Shags have already raised their chicks, most of which have abandoned their nests and were observed in the surrounding area, while the Audouin’s Gulls have nested in their colony, as in previous years, and have begun incubating their eggs.
