EDP Baixo Sabor: Construction and Reservoir Filling Phases – Partridge, Rock Pigeon and Wood Pigeon [2010-2014]

Study Extent

The data were collected within a 5-km buffer around the lower river Sabor and its main tributaries, from the river mouth up to 42 km upstream, in the municipalities of Torre de Moncorvo, Alfândega da Fé, Mogadouro and Macedo de Cavaleiros.

Sampling

The dataset includes systematic observations collected in 8 point counts located in the 4 territories of the Bonelli's Eagle located in the lower Sabor river valley (2 points in each territory). A 10-minute census per point was performed by a single observer, who recorded all target species, by sight or sound, without limit of distance. All identifications were made "in loco" by an experienced observer.

Quality Control

All individual identifications were performed by qualified technicians
