{"product_id":"9781408152331","title":"The Kittiwake","description":"Returning to its breeding sites in the spring after a winter spent  far out at sea, the Kittiwake is a familiar sight around the coasts of  Britain and Europe. A pale, medium-sized gull with a 'gentle' expression  and bright yellow bill, the Kittiwake has been the subject of  behavioural research since the late 1950s - one of the longest running  studies in the world. In this Poyser Monograph, John Coulson summarises  these decades of research, revealing amazing insights into the life of  these gulls, with wider implications for the behavioural ecology of all  colonial birds. There are sections on life at sea, nest-site selection,  breeding biology, feeding ecology, colony dynamics, moult, survivorship  and conservation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is essential for academics working  on colonial species, and is also of great interest to birders who want  to learn more about these elegant cliff-dwelling birds.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121663656176,"sku":"9781408152331","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781408152331_p0.jpg?v=1763718567","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781408152331","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
