After the positive experiences with creating the <\/span>breeding bird atlases<\/a><\/strong> in the cities of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219<\/strong> and Odorheiu Secuiesc<\/strong>, this year we are preparing to start work on the Bra\u0219ov Bird Atlas.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Although we already have a core group of observers ready to begin observations, we aim to cover as much of the area as possible. For this purpose, we are looking for<\/strong> enthusiastic volunteers<\/strong> and good connoisseurs of common bird species, who are willing to get involved in collecting data from the field. If you see yourself in this description and would like to take part in T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219 or Odorheiu Secuiesc, contact Papp Edg\u00e1r at edgar.papp@milvus.ro, and to participate in Bra\u0219ov, get in touch with Alina Ioni\u021b\u0103 at the email address conservarea.naturii.ro@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

What participation involves:<\/h2>

The city area is divided into 500 x 500 square metres<\/strong>, which observers will walk through entirely, twice per season<\/strong>, during the early morning hours, to collect data on the presence of bird species. All individuals of all species identified both visually and by sound will be recorded as you move through the square. You will need to allocate one hour for each square.<\/span><\/p>

Each observer can choose their square(s) depending on their location and which area is most accessible for them. \n<\/p>

Since we aim to cover as much of the city area as possible, it would be ideal \u2013 though not compulsory \u2013 for each observer to survey as many squares as possible.<\/p>

The two field visits<\/strong> must take place during the following periods:<\/span> \n<\/span><\/p>

  • 10 April \u2013 15 May<\/strong> for the first visit (to observe territorial behaviours of species already nesting);<\/span><\/li>\n\n
  • 16 May \u2013 15 June for the second visit.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>

    Observations begin at sunrise and continue until 10:00 a.m.<\/strong><\/p>

    Data will be uploaded using the OpenBioMaps data forms app<\/strong> (on Android) \/ OpenBioMaps (on iOS), via a dedicated form you\u2019ll receive access to later.<\/span><\/p>

    Important<\/strong>: The iPhone app is still in testing and sometimes doesn\u2019t work properly. If possible, we recommend using an Android device. If not, please check in advance whether the app is working correctly and if you can record observations.<\/span><\/p>

    The required equipment<\/strong> includes a mobile phone<\/strong> (with the mentioned apps installed) and a quality pair of binoculars<\/strong> that allows accurate species identification.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the positive experiences with creating the breeding bird atlases in the cities of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219 and Odorheiu Secuiesc, this year we are preparing to start work on the Bra\u0219ov Bird Atlas.Although we already have a core group of observers ready to begin observations, we aim to cover as much of the area as possible.
