ALBATROSS STUDIES – KANGAROO ISLAND, SOUTH AUSTRALIA: A COMPLETE SUMMARY 1971-1988


In a previous summary, results from banding and retrap data over the years 1971-1983 for three species of albatross Diomedea spp. and two species of Giant Petrels Macronectes spp. in Kangaroo Island waters were presented, and methods of capture discussed (Lashmar 1984). The additional birds handled since then, most of which were captured in Eastern Cove, are now included in a complete summary from 1971 to 1988. Twenty-eight recoveries representing 26 birds banded elsewhere by other banders and not previously reported are described as are other species occasionally found in these waters.
