In 2016, 100 northern Rockhopper penguin nests were marked in the main colony on Nightingale Island (37.254°S, 12.2832°W) and an additional 50 nests in a small satellite colony (37.252°S, 12.2833°W). Nests were followed from egg-laying to the crèching stage to monitor breeding success and to investigate the impact of colony size as one of the possible drivers of breeding success. Data were collected as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin, 2016 – 2018, a joint multi-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration between the RSPB, Tristan da Cunha government, British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in South Africa.

During incubation, nests were checked every five days. Once the first chick had hatched, nest contents were checked every second day. The nests were followed from the early egg laying period until 2 December (mid creche).
