The distribution of Black Guillemots were based on surveys carried out by SOTEAG on annual basis. Black Guillemots were mapped in addition to vulnerable seasons for birds (wintering, breeding and moulting) based on the particular vulnerability of the species; to oil spills. They are present throughout the year in high numbers and feed in rafts below the colonies in early mornings and evenings, and can occur especially around the tidal streams of Yell Sound. lorraine gray Marine Atlas Consultants Ltd lorraine@marineatlas.co.uk originator lorraine gray Marine Atlas Consultants Ltd lorraine@marineatlas.co.uk custodian continual Geographic Information System Google Earth and Oceans Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Habitats and biotopes Species distribution GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-01-06 revision Bird counts Habitat extent SeaDataNet P021 parameter discovery vocabulary 2009-11-16 revision Marine Environment Monitoring Global Change Master Directory Science Keywords V5 2006-08-31 creation Species Distribution INSPIRE 2017-05-12 creation Data is freely available for research or commercial use providing that the originators are acknowledged in any publications produced, ask SOTEAG for recommended citation. otherRestrictions SOTEAG have terms and conditions which must be agreed by the data user. 10 English biota biota -1.4474 -1.0244 60.3816 60.7259 2016-01-13 2017-09-25 Bird count data from Shetland Biological Records Centre.

Black Guillemot sites were mapped around Shetland as part of the oil spill sensitivity maps commissioned by SOTEAG. The distribution of Black Guillemots were based on surveys carried out by SOTEAG on annual basis and held by the Shetland Biological Records Centre. Black Guillemots were mapped in addition to vulnerable seasons for birds (wintering, breeding and moulting) based on the particular vulnerability of the species; to oil spills. They are present throughout the year in high numbers and feed in rafts below the colonies in early mornings and evenings, and can occur especially around the tidal streams of Yell Sound. Limitations of the data include 1. Not all data has been collected systematically and all areas have not been surveyed so there will be an observer bias. 2. Seabirds breeding elsewhere in the northern half of Shetland can use Yell Sound as a fly-way, and can feed there. 3. This data was created in 2015 and has been updated in 2017.
