Annual measurements of body mass for Adelie penguin chicks prior to fledging at Signy Island, from 1997 to 2020.
This dataset captures annual measurements of body mass for Adelie penguin chicks at Signy Island, from 1997 until 2020. Between 50 and 100 chicks are measured on beaches immediately prior to their departure, with 3-5 weighing sessions carried out annually per species in the period before fledging is complete. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.
This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

Sessions are ideally repeated approximately every 5 days or less, depending on the rate of fledging. In some years a total of three sessions can be carried out before fledging is complete.
GPS coordinates are of surveyed colonies in this dataset that were measured with GPS devices.
