“…The estimator that the Mayfield method derives has been shown to be a maximum likelihood estimator (Johnson 1979, Hensler & Nichols 1981, Hensler 1985. When calculating observation period, all the assumptions of Mayfield (1961Mayfield ( , 1975 were adhered to and where the outcome of the nesting attempt was uncertain, data from the final observation period were excluded but data from earlier observation periods were included (Crick et al 2003).…”

“…A national request to birdwatchers countrywide to record nesting attempts was also undertaken from 2001 to 2003. All observers were asked to submit nest details in a similar format to the British Trust for Ornithology's (BTO) Nest Record Scheme (NRS) (see Crick et al 2003). Few data were collected during 2001 because of restrictions imposed by the risk of foot-and-mouth disease.…”

We examined the phenology of 2 amphibians (common frog Rana temporaria, common toad Bufo bufo) and one resident bird species (blackbird Turdus merula) at locations in Poland and in the UK on similar latitudes. The timing of phenology was earlier in the UK than in Poland, presumably as a consequence of a warmer maritime environment. This was further confirmed by the earlier frog spawn phenology in the warmer west of the UK than in the east. In the amphibians, the response to temperature was significantly greater in the UK than in Poland, although for the resident bird species the greater response in the UK did not achieve significance. These results suggest that species are adapted to local conditions. However if such adaptive strategies are not able to evolve rapidly to match rapidly changing climatic conditions, then severe disruption to the least flexible elements in any system may result.

“…and sufficient nest record data exist (table 1). Following the methods of Crick et al [12], clutch size and first egg date (FED) were extracted from the British Trust for Ornithology's Nest Record Scheme dataset . Clutch size was the maximum number of eggs recorded in a given nest across all visits.…”

Population ecologyClimatic effects on breeding grounds are more important drivers of breeding phenology in migrant birds than carryover effects from wintering grounds Nancy Ockendon, Dave Leech and James W. Pearce-Higgins British Trust for Ornithology, The Nunnery, Thetford, Norfolk IP24 2PU, UK Long-distance migrants may be particularly vulnerable to climate change on both wintering and breeding grounds. However, the relative importance of climatic variables at different stages of the annual cycle is poorly understood, even in well-studied Palaearctic migrant species. Using a national dataset spanning 46 years, we investigate the impact of wintering ground precipitation and breeding ground temperature on breeding phenology and clutch size of 19 UK migrants. Although both spring temperature and arid zone precipitation were significantly correlated with laying date, the former accounted for 3.5 times more inter-annual variation. Neither climate variable strongly affected clutch size. Thus, although carry-over effects had some impact, they were weaker drivers of reproductive traits than conditions on the breeding grounds.
