This dataset contains records of Black Wheatear (Oenanthe leucura) (Aves, Muscicapidae) collected in the River Tua lower valley included in the Ecological Monitoring (PME) and Compensatory Measures (PMC, measure MC46d) Programs (2017-2020) of the Exploration Phase of the Foz Tua Hydroelectric Dam, promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. Data were collected every season, from the autumn of 2017 to the autumn of 2020 during field visits to the known occurrence target species area at Tua lower valley, within a 5-km radius buffer around the river. All observations were carried out with binoculars and/or telescopes.Purpose
This dataset is part of a broader initiative and commitment assumed by the company EDP - Energias de Portugal S.A., which permits to make available biodiversity data collected from infrastructural impact assessments and biological monitoring studies in the scope of hydroelectric dams’ construction and exploitation.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
Data were collected within a 3-km buffer around the Tua lower valley (Northeast Portugal), up to 3 km from the mouth, in the municipalities of Alijó and Carrazeda de Ansiães.Sampling
Sampling was designed to cover Black Wheatear main reproduction area along the Tua River lower valley under influence of Foz-Tua dam, particularly in the last 7 km of the river, where most couples have their territories. The area was intensively searched by performing random transects (by car or on foot) on all known or potential territories, in winter and summer/autumn (one visit)) and in spring (two visits). Although the method relied mainly on visual observations, singing playbacks of the species (five minutes each) were performed along the transect to enhance bird responses. Species identification and age and sex determination were recorded (when possible) during the field work, with the help of appropriate field guides when needed.Quality Control
All observations were carried out by qualified techniciansMethod steps

Geographic Coverages
