I've just contacted the BTO about this, but while I'm waiting on a response, does anyone know of any datasets that are available which would allow a comparison of the clutch size and average number of successfully fledged ground-nesting birds in the UK?
I'm hoping to get geographical-based information (although I don't need or want to know the actual locations of nests) that would allow me to compare numbers annually over say 10 years (although more years would be better), and then compare with weather information - in particular, mean precipitation in the area.
I'm hoping to investigate if there's a link between clutch size/fledging rate and precipitation. Note this is a preliminary investigation into a potential project for a uni course, I've still to confirm whether I should go ahead with it, and part of the reason is ensuring I can get access to data.
