Start year 2009
End year NA
Continuous collection of data Yes
Gap years NA
Longest data collection 10
Parental ID's recorded Yes
List of basic breeding data collected First egg day, hatch day, estimated fledge day, clutch size, number of fledgling, brood size.
Description of the protocols for breeding data collection NA
Description of the protocols for taking individual level measurements NA
Experimental manipulations Yes
Description of experimental manipulations
  • 2010-2011: Brood size manipulation, predation experiment.
  • 2013-2014: Predation experiment.
  • 2015-2019: Winter supplementary feeding.
Predation events recorded Yes
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
Individual data Yes
Type of individual data Age (from plumage characteristics), sex, size (tarsus length, third primary feather length, beak length, weight), fat score, exploration behaviour, docility score, breathing rate.
Feeding data No
Type of feeding data NA
