The data presented here come from field observations between August 2013 and October 2018, as part of a LIFE research project aiming to preserve and restore three coastal wetlands from Praia da Vitória (Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal). Systematic monthly observations were carried out for five years in order to provide a checklist and monitoring of bird species and subspecies observed in three sites: Paul da Praia da Vitória (PPV), Paul do Belo Jardim (PBJ) and Paul da Pedreira do Cabo da Praia (PPCP). Main objectives were to determine their ornithological richness while also adding data to the overall knowledge of Azorean Avifauna and monitor seasonal and between years variation on species abundance.Sampling Description
Study Extent
This study covers a small coastal area with 3.58 km extension between PPV and PPCP.Sampling
At the three wetland sites more than 788 days of observations were carried out for a total of ca. 11.820 h of direct observations. Each observation lasted 15 minutes in which every sighted bird is registered. These were made by experienced birdwatchers using a Swarovski 20-60 telescope and Opticron Verano HD 10-42 binocular. Photographs were made with a Canon 60D camera.Method steps
- The data has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardised format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table (events) contains 2003 records and one data table extension also exists (occurrence), with 12528 records. The extension supplies extra information about the core record.
