	abstract = {Nest site characteristics were studied in five Audouin{\textquoteright}s Gull (Larus audouinii) colonies breeding on small rocky islands in the Aegean Sea, eastern Mediterranean. Although rocks and vegetation constituted the habitat of Audouin{\textquoteright}s Gulls, there were many intercolony differences in the use of these habitat features, especially those related to vegetation. Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) indicated that vegetation parameters effectively identified habitat variables at nests. Different habitat variables discriminated between nest and random quadrats in three colonies. Percent rock cover around nests varied. The gulls nested relatively far from the available protruding rocks without a tendency to nest near rock crevices and, in two colonies, rock height had no relation with nest placement. In two of three of the colonies, gulls nested farther from vegetation, in lower vegetation, and in one colony percent vegetation cover at nests was higher than that generally available. Differences in vegetation types on each island partly accounted for such differences. Bushy plants seemed to be more important for the protection of larger chicks, rather than for nest sites, whereas the halophyte Limonium vulgare was mostly used for egg support.

	abstract = {Prey taken by breeding White Storks (Ciconia ciconia) were studied using pellets collected from 1993 to 1995 within its breeding area in Greece. Prey consisted of orthopterans, coleopterans, other insects, mollusks and vertebrates. The difference in the proportions of these taxa was significant among major foraging habitats (lakes, rivers, deltas and dry habitats). With the exception of the rivers, major habitats tended to group together in clusters, suggesting that similar prey types were available to the storks in common habitat types.
