Species
Species Great tit, blue tit
Start year 2014
End year NA
Continuous collection of data Yes
Gap years No
Longest data collection 8
Parental ID's recorded Yes, whenever possible. Adult capture rate is 50%
List of basic breeding data collected Nest initiation date, lay date, hatch date, number hatched, number fledged
Description of the protocols for breeding data collection Weekly checks up to expected hatch date, when checks are increased to every other day. We record hatch date as day 0. Nestlings are checks twice during the nestling period, once at day 7 and once at day 13 (when they are ringed, see below)
Description of the protocols for taking individual level measurements We ring and measure chicks at day 13. We take tarsus and body mass measurements.
Experimental manipulations Yes
Description of experimental manipulations Many manipulations have occurred over the years. Mostly cross-fostering experiments, brood-size manipulation experiments, light pollution experiments (LED installed on nestbox ceiling) and food supplementation experiments. All these experimental nests are marked in our database, so that we can quickly exclude them from our analyses, if needed.
Predation events recorded No
How are second clutches recorded? No second clutches
Catching data
Individual data Yes, from 95% of chicks and from 50% of adults
Type of individual data Age, size (wing, weight, leg)
Feeding data Occasionally, via nest cameras or RFID readers
Type of feeding data Nest visits and prey items (type and size)
Other catching data Incubation behaviour

Colour rings No
Tags RFID tags and radiotelemetry tags
Other NA
