Citation

Løkken J O (2022). Bird observations along transects in Kopperå, Trøndelag, Norway. Version 1.2. NaturRestaurering AS. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/jw92gu accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-05-26.

Description

Bird data recorded as part of the knowledge base for an impact assessment of Kopperå wind farm in Norway. The field personell walked transects and noted every species and the total number of species.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Data was recorded from 2012-06-13 to 2012-06-15 in Meråker, Trøndelag, Norway.

Sampling

Two investigators walked through the terrain and stopped at watching points (see footprintWKT), and recorded species name and number of all birds observed both on the walk between points and from watching points. The transects were not strict defined, but rather "fuzzy transects" where the two investigators followed to terrain with the aim of covering most of the designated area. Investigators walk during daytime for 8-10 hours all of the three days in field.

Method steps

  1. Walking fuzzy transects through the study area on foot. Record species name and number of observations of all birds along the way.

Additional info

The data was added in 2021, and some details was lost between the time of recording and the time of uploading. Details lost are: - Exact number of birds observed - Which one of the two investigators spotted the bird(s) - Further details on metods

Taxonomic Coverages

All birds were identified to species.
  1. Animalia
    common name: Animals rank: kingdom
  2. Aves
    common name: Birds rank: class
