Abstract
The feeding distribution of adult and juvenile Herring Gulls at a refuse tip was studied in relation to both spatial and temporal variations in food quality and quantity. The numbers and time of arrival of the gulls at the tip varied in relation to the amount of available food. The extent to which juveniles fed on the high and low quality food patches was related to the degree of competition from adults.
