A year or so ago I saw an article in the New Scientist about "cheating" by
some male sea birds -- the male aquires a mate and sets up a nest as
usual, but then goes off and pairs up with a second mate, installing her
in a second nest at the other end his territory.

To settle an argument, could someone please supply solid details, e.g. what
kind of bird(s) do(es) this plus references to papers or articles.

Much thanks,

Dick Jackson
