The number of Gentoo penguins has been steadily building all month
but they don’t seem to be doing much nest building yet. Most evening’s
decent sized groups can be seen jumping through the water towards the
beach, before emerging all at once and waddling up to the nesting site
for an overnight rest. Last year the first egg was laid on September
22nd, but this year it is unlikely to be until mid October.
GSGSSI have published their first Annual Report. The report, which is
designed to keep people informed about Government activities on and off
the island, was published on this website on September 2nd and has been
distributed to stakeholders. The 13-page document covers the 2012/13
period and is introduced by Commissioner Nigel Haywood who writes that,
“The 2012/13 season has been a busy and eventful one for the GSGSSI… All
told, this has probably been the busiest year in South Georgia since
the end of the whaling era.”
The GSGSSI 2013 Annual Report can be downloaded
