Description
Tweewekelijkse tellingen van de aanwezige zomerganzen in een Oost- en West-Vlaams reservaat tijdens de zomer van 2009 more

Resultaten van tellingen van de aanwezige zomerganzen in twee Vlaamse reservaten. Tussen april en oktober 2009 werden in 'De Kalkense Meersen' en 'De Viconiakleiputten' afwisselend tweewekelijks alle ganzen 's ochtends en 's middags geteld. Tussen beide tellingen werden tijdens een vastgelegde rondrit in de omgeving ook het aantal aanwezige ganzen in de omgeving van beide reservaten geteld.

Parameters
Count Methodology
Count: Point-transect-method
The point-transect-method is a global counting method that exists in counting a series of points along a fixed route (see Hustings et al, 1985). During the breeding season the observer walks at least twice the route that was mapped out in advance.There are 3 relatively brief periods: 10-25 April, 10-25 May, 10-25 June. During the walking of the route the observer stops for 5 minutes at a number of points (200-250m seperated from each other) and takes notes of all observed birds.
