Full description
This dataset contains the locations of plots where cavity nesting species (snow petrels or Wilsons storm petrels) were found to be present in surveys of cavity nesting species in the Mawson region in 2010-11 and the Davis region in 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, plus records of the locations of cavity nesting birds seen outside plots. These data will be used by the AADC to show seabird presence on maps.For most locations the nests were found via a structured survey, using a GPS to find a random 50x50m plot, then manual searching of the plot by a ground observer. In addition, some locations were also found while walking between plots. Plots were not revisited in subsequent survey years.
