some birds stay close to colony all year |
Most birds leave vicinity of colony, probably moving N into subtropical waters; most common off Australia and
South Africa in winter. Some may disperse only to seas adjacent to colonies; birds occur at colonies on Crozet Is
throughout winter. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
