Progress Code: completed Statement: The locations of some colonies on Nelly Island (Frazier Islands), a South Polar Skua nest site on Dewart Island (Frazier Islands) and some South Polar Skua nest sites on Ardery Island were eyed in using as a guide field survey sketches by Jeroen Creuwels in June 1999. The locations of some further colonies on the Frazier Islands, a Southern Giant-petrel nest site on Dewart Island (Frazier Islands) and some Snow Petrel nest sites at Casey Station were sourced from a differentially corrected GPS survey by Jonny Stark of the Australian Antarctic Division in 1998/99. The following data relevant to Jeroen Creuwels' 1998/99 work on Ardery Island were sourced from another differentially corrected GPS survey by Jonny Stark in 1998/99: Antarctic Petrel reference area, Southern Fulmar reference area, Cape Petrel study area, Cape Petrel reference area and the location of the observation point for the 1998/99 bird census. Each feature has a Qinfo value which can be used to access data quality information (see provided URL). This GIS dataset contains bird data from 1998/99 field work in the Windmill Islands by Jonny Stark and Jeroen Creuwels. The locations are Frazier Islands, Ardery Island and Casey station. Polygon data represents the extents of flying bird nesting areas and adelie penguin colonies. Point data represents flying bird nest locations.
