This dataset contains the results from surveys of Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) on Macquarie Island. The majority of the surveys were conducted at the Caroline Cove colony which contains 59% of the Wandering Albatrosses found on Macquarie Island. Observations were made for 41 consecutive days between 5 December 1975 and 14 January 1976, and for 103 consecutive days between 25 November 1976 and 7 March 1977. Occasional observations were made of birds at other locations on Macquarie Island. Each bird in the colony was banded for identification, sexed and had its plumage scored. The times of arrival and departure, numbers present, interaction and behaviour were observed, and weather conditions were noted irregularly throughout the day. The results are listed in the documentation.

The dataset contains boundaries of nest areas of surface nesting flying seabirds at numerous breeding sites across Prydz Bay, Antarctica. The sites are at islands in the Rauer Group, the Svenner Islands and two islands (Bluff Island and Gardner Island) off the Vestfold Hills. The boundary data were obtained from aerial photos of slopes where flying seabirds had been previously observed. The aerial photos were taken on 1 December 2017. Marcus Salton and Kim Kliska conducted the aerial photography and delineated the GIS boundaries representing the nesting areas. The database of potential Adelie penguin breeding habitat as described by the metadata record 'Sites of potential habitat for breeding Adelie penguins in East Antarctica' (http://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_4088_Adelie_Potential_Habitats) was used to associate flying seabird nest areas to a particular island and to structure how the boundaries are stored. The Adelie penguin breeding site database has a unique identifying code for every island in East Antarctica, and the islands are aggregated into spatial sub-groups and then spatial groups. The file structure in which the boundaries are stored has a combination of ‘island’, ‘sub-group’ and ‘spatial group’ (or region) at the top level (eg VES_SG_10 contains all boundaries in spatial group VES (Vestfold Hills and islands) and sub-group 10). Within each sub-group folder are folders for each island where photos were taken (eg IS_72276 is Gardner Island in the VES_SG_10 group). The data is comprised of: (i) a polygon shapefile for each island on which flying bird nest areas were observed; and (ii) a single polygon shapefile for each of Rauer Group, Svenner Islands and Vestfold Hills in which the polygons in (i) are combined. The polygons in the shapefiles have a Type attribute with values ranging from A to E. A = Nests present B = Searched and no nests present C = Nests or salt stains (the investigators were unable to decide whether what they were seeing was nests or salt stains) D = Snow cover E = Not searched

This file contains a report on silver grey petrels in the Windmill Islands in 1961. The report contains hand-drawn maps of Ardery Island, banding information and general information. The data were collected on Ardery Island, Nellie Island and Wilkes Station. The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This file contains a report from Wilkes station in 1968 detailing observations of Wilson's Storm Petrels. The file contains some general information about the observing program, as well as some data, and a hand-drawn map. The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This bibliography is a selected list of scientific papers collected by scientists in the ACE-CRC's Antarctic Marine Ecosystem research programme.

This file contains a biology report from the Windmill Islands in 1962-1963. The report was compiled by F. Soucek. Data were collected from Ardery Island and Wilkes Station. Species included in the report are: Silver grey petrels Antarctic petrels Pintado petrels Snow petrels The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This file contains notes on the observations of Antarctic Petrels at Wilkes Station in 1961. The notes were compiled by N.N. Orton, the medical officer at the station. The hard copy of the map has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This dataset contains the results from satellite tracking the movements of Adélie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) in the Dumont D'urville region, Antarctica. By the use of satellite fixes the foraging locations of the penguins were determined. Monitoring occurred during the 1995-1996 summer season. This work was compeleted as part of ASAC project 2205 (ASAC_2205), &Adélie penguin research and monitoring in support of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Project&.

This file contains a biology report from Wilkes station in 1968. As well as a report, the file also contains correspondence and some banding data. Much of the information appears to relate to Adelie Penguins and South Polar Skuas. The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This file contains a banding report Wilkes station in 1966. The observations were made of: Adelie penguins Silver-grey petrels The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.
