Abstract
The 2010/2011 penguin moult season conventionally runs from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011. During this period, counts of moulting birds were made on 20 occasions (Table 1). These counts have now been converted to aggregates for the year using the technique of fitting the sum of two Gaussian curves and calculating the area under the function (Robinson and Butterworth 2010).
