Most birds remain within foraging range of about 100 km of nesting and roosting colonies. Some disperse over
long distances throughout S African subcontinent (e.g. into Zambia and C Mozambique), especially juveniles
which concentrate in nursery areas remote from colonies. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds),
1994)
