Time-lapse imagery of chinstrap penguins, as part of a camera network from Signy Island, 2015-2022

This dataset contains the imagery for two time-lapse cameras installed at two chinstrap penguin colonies, Pygoscelid antarcticus, around Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of chinstrap penguins at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2015-2022.

This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island.

This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.

This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.
