Oblique photography surveys and counts of black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses in a subset of colonies across South Georgia during the 2023/2024 season
This dataset comprises oblique photographic surveys and derived counts of albatrosses in colonies across South Georgia during the 2023/2024 season (austral summer). This dataset includes stitched images of sites surveyed, as well as derived counts of black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses during their breeding season. Counts are assigned to their respective colonies within larger sites.
Surveys were conducted as part of an all-island albatross survey carried out every 10 years to monitor albatross trends across South Georgia. Flights were conducted by personnel at BAS and supported by the MV SG Pharos. This project was funded by the following: Friends of South Georgia Island, South Georgia Heritage Trust, Antarctic Research Trust, Peter Smith Charitable Trust for Nature, UK Blue Belt Programme.

Diurnal correction factor:
Counts were corrected for diurnal variation in attendance of non-breeding birds and failed breeders as in Poncet et al (2006, 2017), where 2-hour interval counts from selected colonies at Bird Island were used to standardise counts to 12:00h UTC.
