The dataset includes census results of greater white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons), greylag goose (Anser anser), red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis), whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus) and tundra swan (Cygnus columbianus bewickii) on the territory of the Ukrainian Danube region during the period of migration and wintering in 2011-2019.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The dataset includes census results of 5 species of Anatidae species on the territory of the Ukrainian Danube region during the period of migration and wintering in 2011-2019.Sampling
The data was collected during route records of birds during migration and wintering. The territory was surveyed by car. During the survey of the territory, all birds of the target species on the route were recorded. Birds were identified using 10x binoculars and a telescope (20-60 X). If possible, the birds were photographed using an SLR camera and a telephoto lens (70-300 and 100-500 mm). Control counting of individuals in the flock and control identification of species in the flock was carried out based on photographs. A drone was also sometimes used to count the number of birds. The results were recorded in the field diary, and later in the database. In most cases, a GPS navigator or a mobile phone with a GPS receiver was used to obtain geographic coordinates. Part of the coordinates was restored with the help of Google Earth based on the entries in the field diary.Quality Control
The collection of scientific material and its processing was carried out by qualified ornithologists who worked in the region for a long time.Method steps
- Collection of field data in a field notebook.
- Georeferencing.
- Preparing of the dataset according to the Darwin Core standards.
