Penguin Colony

Penguins, and many other seabirds, often nest in the open in large colonies, and so are amenable to aerial survey. UAVs offer a flexible and inexpensive method of achieving this but, to date, few published examples are available. We present a protocol for acquiring aerial images of penguin colonies using UAVs and describe simple, open-source tools for processing these into counts. Our approach is demonstrated using a case study for a penguin colony in the Falkland Islands. We discuss the advantages and limitations of UAVs for penguin surveys and make recommendations for their wider application.

Flight Deck

During the Antarctic summer of 1956–57 the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition continued the work started the previous season.The Oluf Sven, carrying personnel, stores and a Bell 47-D helicopter, left Harwich on 20 October 1956 and arrived at Deception Island on 26 November. Modifications had been carried out to the ship to provide a hangar for the helicopter in one of the holds, and two hand winches had been installed to raise the machine to deck level. A sectional flight deck was carried and erected over the raked deck of the ship, but in practice it was found that the helicopter could operate with ease from the lift platform itself.

History Of

In 1965 the author, a resident of the Falkland Islands, made an aerial survey of seal populations, concentrating mainly on sealions, because numbers appeared to be declining. His results showed a drastic decline in sealion numbers, and he believes that they are still a fair indication of the situation today. In this article he surveys the history of sealing in the islands, describes his census, discusses results and the possible causes for the decline, and urges the need for a full official census.
