Breeding bird surveys on our reserves
Our volunteers have expressed an interest in knowing which reserves we have been surveying in the Breeding Bird Transect project. The accompanying tables give a very simple summary of the species recorded at each reserve and whether the species has been recorded fairly often or simply in one or two years. Note that the tables do not indicate breeding status.
In terms of principal habitats represented on the reserves and in the transect routes the commonest reserve types are ‘woodland only’ and ‘grass, scrub, water’. Separate tables are provided so similar reserves may be compared. The three main tabs in the Excel file are also provided as PDF versions.
More data will be made available as analysis proceeds.
A large number of volunteers have given their time and expertise in the field to this project and the Trust would like to acknowledge them for their contribution. We apologise if we have accidently missed anyone off the list; let us know and we will rectify the mistake.
The tables summarising the bird data were compiled by Christine Newell with assistance from Robin Bailey.
