Most of the population data provided is inaccurate and/or out-of-date. It is included to identify the main colonies and to provide rough estimates of individual populations.
Population studies on individual species in seabird colonies are occasionally carried out by various government authorities. Hopefully we can soon provide more up-to-date information
