This dataset consists of points representing the daytime distribution of Little Penguins in Warnbro Sound and Comet Bay as observed during radio tracking (from air and land) surveys conducted within the metro area on the following dates: November 1996 (air and land), April 1997 (air and land), June 1997 (land), August 1997 (land), and November 1997 (land).

Data loggers were fitted to four Little Penguins in August 2002 to reconstruct the time/activity budget of free-ranging Little Penguins from Penguin Island, Western Australia as they foraged in the shallow waters of Comet Bay, Western Australia.

As seabirds emperor penguins spent a large proportion of their lives at sea. For food they depend entirely on marine resources. Young penguins rarely return to their natal colonies after their first year. Satellite tracking will give us insights into where foraging areas may be that are important for these birds. This tracking work is part of a multi-species study funded by the Integrated Marine Observation System (IMOS). These data are from penguins from the Amanda Bay area, and for the 2010-2011 season.

This dataset contains the results from satellite tracking the movements of Adelie Penguins (Pygoscellis adeliae) from Edmonson Point in the Terra Nova Bay region, Antarctica. By the use of satellite fixes the foraging locations of the penguins were determined. Monitoring took place between 1994 and 2001. This work was completed as part of ASAC project 2205 (ASAC_2205), 'Adelie penguin research and monitoring in support of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Project'.

This data set contains raw, annotated, and synthesized data used in the analysis by Hinke et al. (2021) titled "Serendipitous observations from animal-borne video loggers reveal synchronous diving and equivalent prey capture rates in chinstrap penguins" (DOI:10.1007/s00227-021-03937-5). The data derive from field work to monitor the diving and predation behaviors of two chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarcticus) from Cape Shireff, Livingston Island (60.79°W, 62.46°S) in Antarctica. Sampling occurred from 20 December 2019 to 31 Jan 2020. The raw data include the video files and complete dive records from the deployment of animal-borne video loggers and time-depth recorders on two individual chinstrap penguins. The videos are recorded in 30-minute clips and encompass over 4.5 hours of observation for each bird. Five independent, manual annotations of each video, transcribed onto the corresponding time-depth records of each bird, respectively, document the diving and predation events observed in each video. A separate annotation file that records the presence of companion birds in each video is also included. Additionally, we include two files that were generated during the analysis of the data. The first merges each (N=5) annotation of krill consumption and dive duration for each synchronous dive. The second merges select dive characteristics from each synchronous dive. Finally, we include data on the lengths of krill eaten by penguins during the study period. The krill length data were collected via gastric lavage to characterize the prey field that was encountered by foraging penguins during the sampling season. A READ ME file fully documents each file and important header information.

GPS units were deployed on Adelie penguins at Hop Island in the Rauer Group during the 2011/12 field season. Deployments were made during the incubation, guard and creche periods. The units were later retrieved and the data downloaded. The data were collected following protocols approved by the Australian Antarctic Animal Ethics Committee and supported through the Australian Antarctic program through Australian Antarctic Science project 4087. The GPS units were supplied by Louise Emmerson of the Australian Antarctic Division through the AAS project 4087 budget and deployed and retrieved by Nobuo Kokubun of the National Institute of Polar Research, Japan with field assistance from Barbara Wienecke of the Australian Antarctic Division. Further information is available with the data. Please refer to the Seabird Conservation Team Data Sharing Policy for use, acknowledgement and availability of data prior to downloading data.

Observations of Royal Penguins at North Head, Macquarie Island were made to 2 purposes. First, general observations of the whole rookery, with counting birds, noting times of laying, hatching, changing of guard over the nests and habits of the penguins. Second, the detailed observation of marked nests for the determination of hatching periods, size of clutches and variations in the dimensions of the eggs. Census data from field report by Z Soucek (now deceased), lodged in the AAD archives.
