Recorded breeding for the first time at the South Sandwich Islands in 1995 (PH in Hit.). ADELIE PENGUIN Pygoscelis adeliae (A) Vagrant. Four previous records (Prince & Payne 1979, Prince & Croxall 1983), of three immatures and one adult.

This total of only eight records is surprising in view of the species' abundance in the southern Scotia Sea, with some 200,000 breeding pairs at the South Orkney Islands, 850 km south of South Georgia. However there have apparently been annual sightings of birds from the Cooper Bay area in recent years (PH in litt.)..
