Differences in the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) between potential foraging habitats of the Oystercatcher in the study area: (i) urban lawns (light blue square) and (ii) agricultural grasslands (medium blue triangle) within a 1 km radius around the centre of each breeding territory and (iii) the nearest available sports pitch (dark blue point) during the breeding season of the species in the study area (May to July). Mean ± SE are shown. Different letters indicate statistical significances (p < 0.05) between the groups.
