Records for all bird species for which breeding (possible, probable and confirmed) was recorded during the 6 survey years 2008-13. Records of birds recorded in the category "present but not breeding" are also included in the dataset.Purpose
The aim of the survey was to build a complete picture of all the breeding birds of the Lothian and Borders recording areas during 2008-13 at tetrad scale. Much of the survey work was carried out at the same time as the BTO national breeding atlas.Sampling Description
Quality Control
The data are of high quality, having been checked and verified by the Lothian and Borders recorders and the respective Atlas Working Groups.Method steps
- Data were collected during systematic surveys of all the tetrads in the Lothian and Borders recording areas. All records have been validated by the respective Local Bird Recorders and/or the Tetrad Atlas working groups. All records are geo-referenced at the tetrad (2x2 km scale). The ‘count’ field records the maximum count of each species in the tetrad over the entire survey period (both TTVs and Roving Records).
