This dataset contains 13 wav files with recordings of seabird calls from Peaked Island (St Helena, South Atlantic Ocean) from 5 June 2014. Recordings were obtained with a custom-built autonomous sound recorder, and segmented from the original 2 hour recording into 13 tracks of roughly 9.5 minutes in length. An accompanying MS Excel file lists the calls of every seabird species audible in those recordings (each tab refers to a different wav file) with the exact time of the call and the identity of the species (Brown Noddy Anous stolidous, Madeiran Storm Petrel Hydrobates castro - but note that this species is genetically isolated and may be described as an independent species in the future, see Taylor et al. 2019). The purpose of the recording was to assess the utility of long-term acoustic abundance monitoring for seabirds on St Helena (similar to Oppel et al. 2014)
