Observations of birds on King George Island

Abstract

Observations in 1973–75 made it possible to provide more precise information on the species composition of bird fauna on the Fildes Peninsula of King George Island and to supplement findings on various aspects of bird life. In addition to description of the species composition of birds nesting on the peninsula and of temporary visitors, the paper provides information on the times of arrival and departure, the nesting places, incubating periods and the raising of chicks.
