Vagrant Antarctic fur seals at Gough Island in 2009
The Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella at Gough Island (40°20′S, 09°54′W) in the South Atlantic Ocean, first seen in October/November 2005, was recorded again in September-October 2009. Up to three different individual Antarctic fur seals were sighted on a single day, on a particular beach. A...
