| Lineage | Field counts, photograph and transect/area density methods were used to derive and island-wide estimate of breeding pairs of Southern Rockhopper Penguin in the Falkland Islands. Counts were conducted during October to December. Field counts involved repeated colony counts by single or paired observers. Photographs were counted electronically. For the transect method a number of transects were selected based on the size and configuration of the colony. Each transect was 5m wide and divided into a succession of 5m squares which were averaged to produce an overall estimate of breeding density. The colony area was derived by mapping the perimeter either by GPS or point to point bearings and distances. These measures were combined to extrapolate total breeding pairs. |
