Fulmars were not resident in Sussex prior to the 1950's, so competition for
nest sites with this species did not occur in previous populations of Sussex
Peregrines.
The relationship between these two species and the aspects which affect recolonisation
of Peregrines form part of Sussex Peregrine Study research.
The disabling effects of Fulmar oiling are illustrated by the young Falcon

Any falcons found injured are returned to the wild as soon as they are rehabilitated.This
time may vary from a few days, in the case of young birds which have had problems
soon after fledging to several months in the case of more serious injury.
