This dataset contains flying bird data from field work in the Windmill Islands by Jan van Franeker. The locations are Ardery Island and Odbert Island. Polygon data represents colony locations. Point data represents nest locations. Attributes include the common name of the species. The data are a subset of the data available for downloading, the data with dataset id = 166. Each feature has a Qinfo value which can be used to access data quality information (see link below).
Quality
The locations of some colonies and South Polar Skua nest sites on Ardery Island were eyed in in February 1998 using as a guide field survey sketches by Dr Jan van Franeker. The locations of colonies on Odbert Island were digitised from a paper (van Franeker, J.A., Bell, P.J. and Montague, T.L. (1990). Birds of Ardery and Odbert Islands, Windmill Islands, Antarctica. Emu 90, 74-80) which was based on field work done in 1984/85 and 1986/87.
