NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/9982cf52-7144-4877-9e17-1335f14140d8 This dataset contains information on individual birds caught at nestboxes or via mistnetting at 20 sites along a 35 km urban gradient in Glasgow, Scotland, 2014-2022. For each capture, we recorded the ring number of the individual, morphological parameters, whether samples were obtained and the sample number (blood, feather, faeces). The morphological measurements obtained were: Wing length (total length of the stretched wing, as per BTO guidelines), Weight (to the nearest 0.01 g), Tarsus length (using a caliper with 0.1 cm precision). Data were collected to investigate the effects of urbanisation on daily activity patterns, reproductive traits and population dynamics of passerine birds.

This gradient has been monitored annually between 2014 and 2022 and has consisted of between five and twenty sites, depending on the year. Blue and great tit nestbox populations were monitored annually from 1st April until 20th June between 2014 and 2022. Productivity was monitored through recording breeding attempts in nestboxes. From the 1st April, nestboxes were monitored weekly until incubation commenced. The date the first egg was laid and clutch size were recorded. Once incubation was observed to have begun, nestboxes were not checked again until fourteen days after incubation commenced to minimise disturbance. After this point, nestboxes were checked every other day until chicks were observed. Once chicks were observed, between two days and ten days after hatching, an attempt was made to catch the breeding adults on the nest. The adult birds were marked with a unique metal ring, or their ring number noted if they had been ringed in a previous year. Thirteen days after hatching, nests were visited again to individually mark each of the nestlings within the broods using a unique metal ring. Opportunistic mist netting was also undertaken outside of the breeding season at both study sites. This supplements the mark-recapture data from catching adults and ringing nestlings at the nestboxes, and also contain data on other passerine species bycatch. The morphological measurements obtained were: Wing length (total length of the stretched wing, as per BTO guidelines), Weight (to the nearest 0.01 g), Tarsus length (using a caliper with 0.1 cm precision). At the end of every year data collected during that year is checked and uploaded on a central long-term Access database that enables linking between reproductive attempts and individual bird information (mark-recapture data), both of which are deposited with the EIDC.
