Sedentary. Adults, in particular, stray little from breeding colonies, and after moulting may return to colony
sporadically. Pre-moult period at sea c. 40 days. On leaving colony, juveniles perform dispersive movements,
with ringing recoveries up to 1000 km from colony; some juveniles at 1-2 years old return to moult at natal
colony, and subsequently to breed. Vagrant to Snares Is. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds),
1992)
