- Statement
- The data were collected between May and June 2014 in Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes, UK. A subset of 500m x 500m survey tiles (n = 116) were selected from across the three towns using a stratified sampling design. Point count methods were then used to survey birds at up to four pre-defined survey points within each tile. All tiles were visited twice between 06:00am and 10:00am. During each visit, ten minute point counts were conducted at all survey points within the tile in a random order. Over two-minute intervals, observers recorded all birds seen or heard within five distance categories or in flight. Birds singing and not singing were recorded separately. The survey conditions and the numbers of people observed during each observation period were also recorded.
