Annual arrival dates for chinstrap penguins on Signy Island at onset of breeding season, from 1996 to 2020.

This dataset comprises the annual count of chinstrap penguins arriving to Signy Island each breeding season, from 1996 to 2020. Penguins arriving at the beach in mid to late November (the austral summer) were counted. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.

Ecosystems component of BAS Polar Science for Planet Earth Programme, funded by NERC.

Statement
Counts are ideally continued every 4-5 days - the number of sessions vary between years depending on the time it takes for all penguins and researchers to arrive. Years with no data indicate personnel had not arrived to Signy Island in time to carry out this activity.
