Data from the Béchervaise Island Adélie penguin weighbridge, 2006-2018

The dataset comprises records of crossings by Adélie penguins of a weighbridge and gateway established on Béchervaise Island. The weighbridge and gateway are positioned so that most or all of the penguins breeding in a set of sub-colonies on the island cross the weighbridge when they leave the colony to forage and when they return from foraging. The gateway records the time of each crossing, the dynamic weight of the penguin as it crosses, and the identity of penguins that have been sub-cutaneously tagged. The weighbridge and gateway operate continuously throughout the austral breeding season. The data are currently in an unprocessed form.This dataset is for data collected between 2006 and 2018.
