Résumé :	The area off the Scottish east coast and around Orkney and Shetland has previously been identified as the single most important area for seabirds at sea in summer in the North Sea. Both colony studies and long-term observations during extensive surveys off the British east coast have shown that sandeels (Ammodytidae) are critical prey for most piscivorous species in the area, but also that foraging is restricted largely to a zone c. 80 km wide along the coast. This paper summarises the results of ten extensive cruises and reports on species composition, foraging distribution and interannual variations within the northwest North Sea.
