The purposes of this data capture were to: - Develop a model to assist in predicting the effect of offshore windfarms on common scoter due to habitat loss and change. - Link the non-breeding distribution of common scoter with environmental variables at selected sites - Identify the characteristics of preferred feeding areas for common scoter within these sites.
