FIBDv8 20140601 birds

The records of bird species for each island are extracted from the database (known as the Falkland Islands Biodiversity Database) for all islands in the Falkland Islands (with the exception of islands in freshwater bodies). Each record is entered according to the date of survey. Data were collected mostly during surveys between 1997 and 2013. Date, surveyor name and affiliation are associated almost to each record.Disclaimer: islands with limited and variable data may have large and imprecise estimates or records. A number of islands have not been surveyed so the dataset is not complete. Consider the wide range and variability of survey methodology and coverage are limitations to the dataset, hence it should be used with caution.
