Falkland Islands White chinned petrels and Southern Giant Petrels

The data set is a complete census of all colonies of southern giant-petrels within the Falkland Islands in 2004/05 and 2015/16 along with the census of all known colonies of white-chinned petrels within the Falkland Islands which was conducted during the summers of 2004/2005 and 2005/2006. White-chinned petrels were found on Kidney Island or New Island, with a very small colony on Bottom Island in Port William. Southern giant-petrels were found in 38 locations around the islands.
