On Monday we discussed the new forest bird indicator. We suggested producing two types of indicators – the General forest bird indicator and the Mature forest bird indicator. We also agreed to apply a more objective, trait-based approach to species selection which was presented by Simon Butler. We identified future steps to be done to develop the new forest bird indicators and we will present them on the PECBMS workshop in Evora.
On Tuesday we discussed the possible future development of farmland bird indicators and other indicators such as the Montane bird indicator, Mire bird indicator, or Urban bird indicator on European and national scale.
On Wednesday EBBA2 meeting organized by Aleksi Lehikonen took place. We discussed potential research projects using EBBA2 data.
