  abstract = {{W}e used miniaturized {GPS} loggers and site observations to access foraging patterns and nest behaviour of the {W}hite-tailed {T}ropicbird {P}haethon lepturus ({WTTB}), an endangered species at its {S}outh {A}tlantic breeding colony. {D}ual foraging pattern was observed with alternation between long and short foraging trips. {B}irds responsible for nest attendance engaged in short foraging trips with mean distance from colony of 25 +/- 17 km, total distance covered of 79 +/- 65 km and mean duration of 4.02 +/- 5.28 hours. {B}irds flew by dawn and returned before dusk while partners were at sea for long foraging trips that ranged from four to 11 days, with mean maximum distance from colony of 105 +/- 47.48 km. {C}hicks were usually left alone for hours and chick predation by {L}and {C}rab {J}ohngartia lagostroma, egg consumption by {G}oniopsis cruentata and intra-specific competition are suspected to be responsible for high chick mortality rates.},
