List of basic breeding data collectedFirst egg day, hatch day, estimated fledge day, clutch size, number of fledgling, brood size.
Description of the protocols for breeding data collectionNA
Description of the protocols for taking individual level measurementsNA
Experimental manipulationsYes
Description of experimental manipulations
  • 2010-2011: Brood size manipulation, predation experiment.
  • 2013-2014: Predation experiment.
  • 2015-2019: Winter supplementary feeding.
Predation events recordedYes
How are second clutches recorded?Similar to first clutches, first egg day might be 1-2 days off for some clutches because nest boxes are checked only once a week so some females already started incubating when we find eggs for the first time.
Catching data
