Distribution and abundance of breeding seabirds at Heard Island and the McDonald Islands

Distribution and abundance of breeding seabirds at Heard I and the McDonald Is.


This dataset comprises a broad range of component datasets derived from ground surveys aerial photography and oblique photography. Since the data have also been derived from old station logs for the 1947-54 period, and from published and unpublished records for the 1947-present day period.


Aerial and oblique photography has been used to obtain supplementary information on distribution and abundance of seabirds in the region.


Recent surveys, 2000/01 onwards, have made use of GPS for more precise geographic information on seabird nests and colonies.


At present there are a number of child metadata records attached to this record. See the link above for details.
