Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts (2014)
Journal Article
Furnell, J., & Hull, S. L. (2014). Cliff top habitats provide important alternative feeding resources for wading birds of conservation importance wintering on non-estuarine coasts. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 139, 119-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2013.12.029

Rocky shores and beaches are important over-wintering areas for non-estuarine waders but have rarely been studied. We examined cliff top habitat use by 6 species of wader over 75 km of coast to assess their potential value as alternative feeding site...
