Abundance data on breeding birds from the French Breeding Bird Survey
(Suivi Temporel des Oiseaux Communs, STOC), for the period 2002-2014. The
dataset comprises 7,115 bird communities. Only 107 common species were
included in the study.
This dataset was supplied by the French breeding bird
monitoring programme, in which ornithologists identify breeding birds by
song or visual contact following a standardized monitoring protocol. Each
spring. Briefly, a 2 × 2 km plot consisting of 10-point counts -separated
by at least 300 m- is randomly assigned to each volunteer. Volunteers
record year after year all birds seen or heard in each of the ten
sites during a 5-min period. Point counts are visited at dawn twice within
three weeks around mid-May to ensure the detection of both early- and
late-breeders. The maximum value of the two censuses is retained for each
species as yearly abundance index.
