Stone-curlew Annual Surveys

Quality Control

These data have been gathered by trained field-workers and the data are of a high quality. These data have been mapped and checked for sensitivities and typographical/geographical errors.

Method steps

1. The breeding range and distribution of stone-curlew are restricted and all known sites and potential sites are monitored annually. Site visits were made between March and September, and locations of all breeding & non-breeding pairs, singletons, and their nest sites were recorded.
   In order to verify records and validate the dataset, the data have been mapped and thoroughly checked. Geographical checks have included comparing the distribution with that shown in the published paper and ensuring that records with the same area name are located close to each other.
