Body motion, geographic mobility, and nest attendance of a pink-footed goose during spring and summer. Overall dynamic body acceleration (ODBA) per burst varied largely but showed during nesting a time window of motionlessness (a, c: zoomed in), during which geographic mobility was also notably low (b). GPS-fixes with an ODBA  <  1 on days with median ODBA  <  1 were selected to extract the nesting site by taking median coordinates (c), from which then nest site attendance was calculated (d). Inferred start and end of nesting are indicated by orange arrows in d, given by a threshold of daily attendance above 75% within 50 m from the nest. This nest was confirmed to have hatched
