Fulmarine Petrels and South Polar Skua Catharacta maccormickii populations on Ardery Island, Windmill Islands, Antarctica.
The Ardery and Odbert Islands, Antarctica (66°22′S, 110°27′E) have been declared a Specially Protected Area (SPA) because of their breeding populations of species of fulmarine petrels. Published information on the bird life in this SPA was summarised by Bonner & Lewis-Smith (1985) and van Franek...
