| Title | The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland: 1988-1991
|
| Notes | A dataset of the distribution of the breeding birds of Britain & Ireland from 1988 to 1991, generated using a list of the species observed within each 10km square over the survey period.
Geographic Coverage: This datasets contains data only for the island of Ireland, but is part of the larger Britain and Ireland master dataset held by the British Trust for Ornithology at Thetford, U.K. All 10-km squares within the island of Ireland with more than a very small amount of land were visited. Temporal Coverage: Records for 10-km squares were collated over the breeding seasons of 1988-1991 inclusive. The timed visits for any one tetrad were carried out between 1 April and 31 July, and for any one tetrad such visits were only done in one of these years. Species Groups recorded: bird Dataset Status: The dataset available through Biodiversity Maps is for the island of Ireland but is only a subset of the larger British and Irish dataset held by the British Trust for Ornithology. It was used to produce the second breeding bird atlas published as Gibbons, D.W., Reid, J.B. & Chapman, R.A. (1993) The New Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland: 1988-1991. T. & A.D. Poyser. Records of three species, Red-throated Diver, Goosander and Peregrine are withheld from the database as they are considered sensitive species. Additional Information: Full details of the methods used in the field, how fieldwork was organised and the interpretation of the maps is provided in the published atlas Gibbons, D.W., Reid, J.B. & Chapman, R.A. (1993) The New Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland: 1988-1991. T. & A.D. Poyser, London, or from the British Trust for Ornithology website at www.bto.org/birdatlas/previous/old_methods.htm.
