Vegetation Type Oak dominated, with holly/hazel/rowan understory and bilberry field layer
Description of study site Upland oakwood dominated by a sessile oak canopy, a rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) and holly understory, and a dense bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) field layer. Habitat and composition is almost uniform throughout and elevation ranges from 150 to 300 m. Became a National Nature Reserve in 1952 and at this time was unmanaged, being last actively managed circa 1870 when coppicing for charcoal production ceased with the closure of a copper mine within the wood. By the 1950s abandonment of the oak coppice had resulted in a high density of multi-stemmed trees with tall thin stems and very few veteran trees. At designation as a reserve it was sub-divided into 148 management plots (mean area = 1.01 ha, ±1.17, range 0.098–6.95 ha). Burgess M.D. 2014. Forest Ecology and Management 330: 205-217

Experimental manipulations No
Description of experimental manipulations NA
Predation events recorded Yes
How are second clutches recorded? Coded in data with replacement clutches those initiated in the same or neigbouring box, was laid >30 days after the first egg laying date for that species in that year, or female identify indicated second clutch. Second clutches (2 records) where female identity confirmed for both attempts.
Catching data
Individual data Yes
Type of individual data

For pied flycatcher: age, immigration status, wing length, weight, tarsus length, male plumage (Drost, forhead pattern), malaria infection.

For other species: age, immigration status, wing, mass
Feeding data Yes for pied flycatcher
