Attendance counts of Adelie penguins from remotely operating cameras in East Antarctica

Created 24/06/2025

Updated 24/06/2025

This dataset comprises counts of Adelie penguins attending breeding sites from images obtained with 20 remotely operating cameras across East Antarctica. Counts were made of adults, occupied nests and chicks every few days throughout the breeding season from October through to February. Locations of cameras are given in an associated dataset (Photographic images of seabird nesting sites in the Antarctic, collected by remote camera) which also provides the images obtained from the cameras. Please refer to the Seabird Conservation Team Data Sharing Policy for use, acknowledgement and availability of data prior to downloading data.
