Resightings of immature and deferring adult wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) on Bird Island, South Georgia, from 2010 to 2022

This dataset records colony attendance by immature and deferring adult wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) between 2010 and 2022, in a study colony at Bird Island, South Georgia. Individuals were ringed as fledglings and birds were sexed from plumage. The number of times a bird was sighted per season is presented, along with the dates of the first and last sighting that season.

Data were collected by Bird Island Zoological Field Assistants as part of the long-term monitoring of this colony, and were collated as part of a study of wandering albatross recruitment and the behaviour of immature and deferring adults attending the colony.

Funded as part of the Bird Island Long-term Monitoring Programme at BAS.
