Occupancy surveys in November 2008 (Southwell and Emmerson 2013) found a total of 31 Adelie penguin breeding sites off the Vestfold Hills. The boundaries of breeding sub-colonies at 26 of these sites were subsequently mapped from vertical aerial photographs taken for abundance surveys on 18-21 November 2009. Two breeding sites were photographed obliquely from a helicopter using a hand-held camera on the 13 December 2012. Colony boundaries for these 2 sites were drawn and digitised by eye.
