Population monitoring of Grey-headed and Black-browed Albatross on Bird Island, South Georgia, from 1976 onwards

Monitoring of Black-browed Albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) and Grey-headed Albatrosses (Thalassarche chrysostoma) in various colonies on Bird Island began in 1976. Data are available for the number of nests for each colony per year. More detailed information is available for selected colonies including the number of eggs laid and chicks hatched and fledged from 1989 onwards. An estimation of the total number of pairs on the island each year using a correction factor, and annual breeding success is also available.
