Population monitoring of Light-mantled Albatross on Bird Island, South Georgia, from 2000 onward

Nests of Light-mantled Albatrosses (Phoebetria palpebrata) throughout a study area on Bird Island have been monitored annually since 2000, with surveys in November, January and May. The number of nests, eggs and chicks are counted and from this, yearly breeding success is calculated.

Statement

Methodology:

Egg failures indicate the number of nests which have failed by the January survey. Hatching success is based on the January survey and therefore incorporates some chick mortality in early brood-guard. Chick failures are the number of nests which fail between the January and May surveys. Fledging success is based on survival from January to May surveys.

All data were collected under permit from the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

All sampling procedures used were regulated by the British Antarctic Survey Ethical Review Committee in collaboration with Cambridge University and the UK Home Office.
