Macquarie Island Brown Skua breeding and diet data

This dataset contains:

1) count data from a series of surveys of brown skua nest numbers and breeding success conducted from 2008/09 to 2017/18;

2) historic skua nest count data and concurrent estimates of rabbit abundance (1974/75 to 2009/10);

3) stable isotope data from feather samples taken from skua chicks during the 2017/18 season to compare stable isotope ratios between different feather types;

4) stable isotope data from feather samples taken from skua chicks from 2008/09 to 2017/18;

5) a small dataset of stable isotope data from skua prey tissue samples;

6) the nest locations of skuas surveyed in the seasons 2009/10, 2012/13 and 2017/18.
