Approaches for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Tir Gofal in Delivering Benefits to Farmland Birds
Tir Gofal is the main scheme in Wales, within which some habitat management prescriptions are designed to provide benefits to breeding and wintering farmland birds. The aim of this project was to identify and evaluate methods of monitoring the extent to which this is achieved. The purpose of this data capture was to assess possible approaches to monitor the effect of Tir Gofal on farmland birds.

New data on the abundance and species richness of birds on samples of treatment and control farms in winter were obtained using an area search method modified from previous studies. Similar data for the breeding season were obtained from previous surveys of ESAs in Wales. An evaluation of type I errors rates for given sample size and effect size were carried out by fitting log-linear models to these data. This was done after re-sampling and sub-sampling procedures were used to simulate different sample sizes and effect sizes for a comparative scheme monitoring design.
