Encounter histories adult spoonbills 1994-2010

This datafile (plain textfile to be imported in program E-Surge) contains the encounter histories of 2095 adult (>3cy) Eurasian spoonbills, born between 1988 and 2007 and resighted between summer 1994 and summer 2010. Two resighting periods per year are defined (summer = March-September, winter = December-January for France and Iberia and October-February for Mauritania & Senegal). Events are coded as: (0) not resighted, (1) resighted in summer in The Netherlands, (2) resighted in winter in France, (3) resighted in winter in Iberia, (4) resighted in winter in Mauritania & Senegal. Columns refer to encounter history (H:), sample size (S:) and 'standardized' year of birth (COV:yb), calculated as ([year of birth]-2000)/10

Seasonal resighting histories of adult Eurasian spoonbills

The datafile contains seasonal resighting histories of 538 adult Eurasian spoonbills that breed in the Netherlands or Germany and winter in France, Iberia or Mauritania, resighted between October 2005 and September 2012. Resighting periods are defined as October-December and January-March in an individual's wintering area and April-June and July-September in the breeding areas in The Netherlands and Germany. The resighting history of an individual starts with the first resighting as an adult (3rd winter or older) in its wintering region, being France, Iberia or Mauritania (and indicated in the column "group" of the datafile).
