  • Nic Huin working with Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) Long term research project to investigate the reasons why the population is in decline. Whether it be in the adult stock, chick recruitment into the population or sub-adult mortality. Birds are ringed to identify individuals which is also showing high pair and nest site fidelity. During research period the birds are marked with orange paint to observe their location at sea and to ensure that each bird in the study area is censused which allows for less handling during the season.<br />

  • Rockhopper Penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome) & Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) <br />
Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
The Penguins return in early October to breed after their winter pelagic wandering. The males return about 10 days before the females. They nest in close-packed colonies on cliffs, often in association with Black-browed albatross and King Cormorants. They lay 2 eggs. The first egg is smaller and the chick is rarely reared to fledging. After the chicks fledge in April the colonies are once again deserted. They are the most abundant penguin species in the Falklands. They feed mostly on squid, Lobster Krill and fish.<br />
RANGE: Subantarctic Islands, Cape Horn, Ildefonso Island, Isla Morton, Isla Hornos and Southern Chile, Falkands and a few in South Georgia. Also Tristan de Cunha, Gough, St Paul and Amsterdam Islands, Prince Edward, Marion, Crozet, Kerguelen, Heard, Macquarie, Campbell, Antipodes and Auckland Islands.<br />
