Nest site attendance and recesses throughout the nesting cycle. Nesting duration, i.e. number of subsequent days with  >  75% (dashed horizontal green line) of time spent within 50 m of the nest, varied between 3 and 44 days for all nests, but between 30 and 34 for successful nests (a). Most nest attempts stopped in the first or last 10 days of the incubation cycle (delineated by dashed vertical grey lines). In these periods, geese went more often beyond 50 m from the nest, than during the period in between, while the duration of each of those bouts did not vary significantly (b). Grey shading indicates the start and end of successful nesting. In b, means are depicted  ±  SE
