Time-lapse imagery of Southern giant petrels, as part of a camera network from Signy Island, 2016-2022
This dataset contains the imagery for one time-lapse camera installed at a Southern giant petrel, Macronectes giganteus, colony at Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of Southern giant petrels at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2016-2022.
This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island.
This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.
This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

Each image includes a time-stamp and the temperature from when the photo was taken.
Imagery is not always continuous throughout the year and there may be gaps between photo timestamps.
Photos where fog, ice, or darkness obscures the colony are included in the dataset, and can be filtered depending on the required use. Images that are completely blurry or dark have been removed.
