  1. a: estimated mean values (logit scale), LCL, UCL: 2016 = -0.179, -0906, 0.548; 2017 = 1.199, 0.377, 2.003; 2018 = 0.959, a 0.287, 1.631
  2. Estimates refer to standardized variables. Breeding stage was coded as 0 = incubation or 1 = nestling-rearing, sex as 0 = males or 1 = females. Individual identity was included as a random intercept effect. The model was not overdispersed (ϕ = 1.0). Model R2 was 0.24 (marginal) and 0.34 (conditional), while Radj was 0.13 (all values estimated according to [45]). Effect size for covariates was calculated as the absolute value of Pearson’s r obtained from semi-partial R2 values from the “r2glmm” R package [34]. Important effects (i.e., with 95% CI of estimates not including zero) are shown in bold. One individual with a single foraging trip was excluded (n = 488 trips from 35 individuals)
