Body measures and physiological parameters of Black-browed Albatross from 2015 to 2016 in Saunder Island

The dataset is an excel file with data body measures of Black-browed Albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophris) taken at Saunders Island (Falkland Islands) in February 2015 and January/February 2016. Sex and various physiological parameters were retrieved in the lab from samples of blood and feathers.
