Hello !
I'm a French scientist and I'm going to work on a population model developed for Common pochard . I'm looking for a program that has studied pochard reproduction in the UK. I'm trying to estimate clutch size, nest survival, duckling survival in most European countries.
Do you know who I should contact?
Thanks in advance,
Odin
Hi Odin,
The BTO information on Pochards comes from their ringing and nesting records and contains information on clutch sizes and survival etc so might be worth contacting

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your reply. I already have all the UK ringing data via an EURING data extraction. However, I am still looking for dataset on fecundity. These datasets are not gathered by an center so I am searching for contacts. On the BTO website, I did not find any specific email for people working on pochard or at least on ducks to contact. Any ideas ?
Thanks again,
